• A LEADER OF THIS WORLD.

US are now the undisputed world leader, and this is here and now, not in the other world as ensuring all religious leaders for their own "system". I think it is important to stress this because the two superpowers "above", USSR and US, somehow have lost a center of external gravity around the world. For the USSR it was communism and for US was anti-communism. We can see that these results are sad for the USSR as it strives to a crisis as a result of the exercise of its power in the interior. Something's wrong is (fortunately) to the former Soviet Union in their both attempts to cold war and hot war. A country that is not even a slave of OPEC. The word is strong but it was quite normal in the Middle Ages of Europe.

There are also some third major countries such as China, India or Brazil that are leaving the power of religious origin to start in the world based on economics, Western style. I have no doubt that the future will be better with the existence and updating of these major countries, plus Canada. Australia, Argentina, above, under their own power or "size". These countries will not be able (I do not imagine it, at least) to receive whichever impositions or impose it themselves on other countries as powerful as them.

So far "historical" countries have suffered greatly because obey the arbitrariness of a small country: the Vatican.

Perhaps China will become the number 1 in some figures and statistics, but it could be pass a thousand years before China has the heights of freedom and welfare of US. And without freedom, it is not possible rationality and initiative needed to be number 1.

Or "bollywood" which needs much more time, still.
