Americans fear 'Chinese century'

The American people are well aware that we stand at a moment at which our nation may well yield its preeminent place in world affairs to China.

I detect a note of resignation in the statements quoted in the story linked to above. Resignation is the last thing we need- or can afford. The notions that history is on the side of collectivism and totalitarianism, and that America's hour has passed, are both simply unsupportable.

The forces which bring about our fear of China's continued rise and America's continued decline are very real. They constitute a greater threat to everything we hold dear than we faced in World War II or the Cold War. This needs to be America's finest hour- and the hour in which we refuse to accept taking second place on the world stage to a country ruled by the most evil regime this planet has ever known.
