Stratfor: US Will Lead Global Economic Recovery

Here's a nice contrarian viewpoint put forth by Stratfor - they believe the US will be the first country to lead the world's global economic recovery, starting as early as the 3rd quarter of this year. And then Asia's recovery won't be far behind.

Stratfor produces excellent analysis about geopolitical ongoings...basically a "personal CIA" delivered to your email box. They are long term bullish on America, so I find their views to be an interesting counterbalance to most of the stuff I read.
