that's where you're wrong. enginuity and innovation have always been the american strongpoints that put this country bar-none above the rest. sure japan can build existing things better once there is something to work from, china can mass produce anything as long as they have a blueprint, and india can set up a call center for tech support as long as they have canned scripts to work from. the fact of the matter is that all three countries combined, don't have a history of invention like we do. that is what keeps the USA as a superpower.
