As the balance of power changes...

While we look at the economical power of emerging countries grow, the views of those loosing some of it is usually split between those who have the urge to fight to keep it and those who are embracing the concept of going beyond power.

Well, as we look at our dearest neighbor and the hike in military spending it is easy to identify where the power in place stands. Yet, the other half has its chance in the upcoming election. What will it be? 2/3 are already set on fighting: both existing and recently past powers have a fixed agenda which leaves 1/3, the Obama card which would, could change the path of history. Vanishing powers have traditionally spent enormous amount of energy in maintaining disappearing power through force. Will there be enough humanity to look beyond?
