I would like to take umbrage at your suggestion that the financial crisis is an evil plot imposed on the rest of the world by American masterminds who somehow tricked or coerced innocent bystanders into buying into their schemes. Not to mention the unconnected slam at our foreign policy.
...I would like to take umbrage, but unfortunately doing so would align me with a political class that has just comprehensively failed the most important test put to them since the end of the Cold War. "Posturing" is far too kind a description for both ends of the legislature, and it even fits the executive. (Not to mention both presidential candidates.) Politics carried to the point of solipsism, and now we'll all have to bear the results.
I offer whatever cold comfort you may find in the realization that Americans are going to suffer too.
