You mean to imply this not not the case? The cold war is over, and the new order is shaping up... Nobody in the US with any insight into the US economy or global trade likes the way this is shaping up.

Britain has snubbed the rest of the EU by first not switching to the Euro, and now by siding with the US. There are doubts as to whether or not Britain will switch to the Euro at all.

The idea that a weak dollar gives the US more economic power is insane. The entire asian market as well as most of the European market have trading surpluses with the US that are in the hundreds of billions of dollars. A weakened US dollar only raises the price of imports and makes some items less attractive to buy.

Did you read the article completely? The point was that the economic strength of the US lies in the international standard of the US dollar, and that if the Euro becomes that new standard, the US economy will collapse.
It doesn't matter how weak the US dollar is, as long as it's still the international standard.

Forget it. The article was ill concieved and poorly written. I can't believe I wasted any time on it.

I think the article was quite well conceived, and quite accurate as well. It could have been written better, but that's moot.
I find that a common debating practice is to ridicule anything you cannot refute. It's a bad practice, it makes the debator seem unreasonable, and exposes that they cannot refute it, if they repeat the pattern.
A much better practice is to entirely ignore the issue, by not debating, the issue fades quickly, and not as many people will notice. I can see Ari Fleischer has much left to teach you
