I will tell you one thing, based on 20+ years in the international arena, we are the BEST at coming up with new ideas, bar none. Perhaps its our freedom which permeates every aspects of our lives, but we have the innate ability to ask "what if". I just don't see that as strong in other areas of the world as I do here. I've lived in China for several years, and I can tell you that they are probably the best at taking something apart and copying the hell out of it, whereas the Israelis take our equipment apart and often make it better. BUT, the ideas mainly come from here. The fact that we outsource sooo much means that we give so much away.
