Why do they keep mentioning how many Chilean flags are being flown?

wow

This.

I thought another interesting point was how IMMEDIATELY the Chilean president was personally involved and calling out to anyone or nation who could/would help, so the miners could be saved. And he was personally there hugging/congratulating the miners as they were rescued.

Class act.

I'm going to say it....



Unlike Obama and the Gulf oil spill.

The U.S. has a government led by a mindset obsessed with 250K-a-year "millionaires" and given to mocking "our blind faith in the market." In a fast-moving world filled with nations intent on catching up with or passing us, this policy path is a waste of time.

The miners' rescue is a thrilling moment for Chile, an imprimatur on its rising status. But I'm thinking of that 74-person outfit in Berlin, Pa., whose high-tech drill bit opened the earth to free them. You know there are tens of thousands of stories like this in the U.S., as big as Google and small as Center Rock. I'm glad one of them helped save the Chileans. What's needed now is a new American economic model that lets our innovators rescue the rest of us.

Damn right! Great article.
