depends on what you mean by dis-credit. I never tried to convince anybody that any of the achievements of americans in the field of S&T are not for real, other than saying the landing on moon couldn't have taken place coz it has never been attempted by anybody else due to the technological problems involved. The US had produced lots of inventors-inventions and if you believe that white-skinned people from the other side of the atlantic -along with you, comprise the master race, I would agree that there have been a disproportionate number of such inventors on both side of the pond in the post-industrial era, There hasn't been an Indian equivalent of Einstein (who btw fled the US for being ostracized) or Isaac Newton. But to say that anyone belonging to a certain race-nationality has got to be of good calibre is something of an exagerration -commonly used by those who are very much in need of a free ride. Most of my dis-crediting is wrt fraud(strong dollar policy), theft (of mid-east oil) and liquidate of civilians for the sake of it, the practice of slavery or racism or soon-to-come liquidation or some such thing. I don't intend to use these criticisms to take away credit for any inventions that have come about from the US.

I haven't neglected the other 2 billion people (actually 4+ billion) -just that I do not have first hand information about other economies to make a statement and defend it when faced with a hostile audience.

if they don't acquire purchasing power, they will continue to live in dust. But it looks like with free enterprise, we just might witness organic growth in the domestic industry.

You mean militarily? I dunno how they will cope with the numerous militias that the govt is battling. Its like americans trying to take control or buttuming they have done so -after defeating the Iraqi army in conventional warfare.
