Decline of Euopean power

A few days ago, I watched a newsreel showing Sarkorzy talking about a
possible boycott of the Olympics opening.

Just a century ago, the European colonial masters would have sent
their gunboats and committed gang rape on China.  Today, the same old
arrogance is still there, but now all these goons and thugs (I mean
the real ones, not the intended victim) can do is to beat up someone
who just happens to pass by with a torch.  What a pathetic show of
"muscle".
