US and EU: A Tale of Two Countries

Recently I've written on the decline of the west, and even predicted that Brazil will take over.

Obviously I am not a foreign policy expert. Brazil, does not even officially have nuclear bombs, and the European Union is not dead yet. Red Ed (pictured above) is not about to let England go the kookoo way of the Tea Party across the Atlantic, in what I consider the same Anglo Saxon country that spans both oceans. Culturally the identification is so deep that British lads were willing to give their blood for the ill-conceived attack to the Arab World, by W.

May you Live in Interesting Times.

From the Wikipedia note on Miliband:

``Harvard

On 25 July 2002 it was announced that Miliband would take a 12-month unpaid sabbatical from the Treasury to be a visiting scholar at the Centre for European Studies of Harvard University for two semesters.[7] He spent his time at Harvard teaching economics,[8] and stayed there after September 2003 teaching a course titled "What's Left? The Politics of Social Justice".[9] He was granted access to Senator John Kerry and reported back to Brown on the Presidential hopeful's progress.[10] In January 2004 he was appointed chairman of HM Treasury's Council of Economic Advisers, directing the UK's long-term economic planning.[11]''

From the Wikipedia entry on him:

I am liking this guy. He is also the first non-believer to lead the Labor Party:

``After previously commenting that his religious views were a private matter, in an interview with Radio 5 Live in reply to a question from Nicky Campbell he was quoted as saying, "I don't believe in God personally, but I have great respect for those people who do."[32]''

Why the title?

I believe the US rules North America, and the UK the European Union.
