Now to what I was looking for on CNN education

The story I was looking for. The more our education system fails, the more we will rely on our military to dominate the world as opposed to relying on innovators. I guess the depressing thing is, we have pretty much always relied on our military to ensure our dominance in the world, since we became a hegemonic power. It would be encouraging if we could rely on our innovation and knowledge, and use our military to defend on our interests and not create our interests.
