Is Obama's victory a turning point for the World?

This is the morning after the greatest election in 221 years. We are a young Nation since our Founding Fathers vision set us on a course of action that would forever change history and the planet. By electing Barack Obama as President, we have done what Great Britain and our Nato Allies have never been able to do. We elected, one of our minority citizens of African decent, our President of all the people. While we celebrate this as a Country, I hope that other nations will examine how they have treated their minorities and will ask their minorities to examine themselves as to whether they are investing in their own education and embracing an imperfect society by being a part of it and a part of the societal change in a non violent way. Is it possible that Great Britain could achieve this? Yes, but it might take them another 221 years. But at least they now have an example to follow.
