The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Based on the information, the value of the US dollar increased during these months. The US dollar increased its value. For instance, in the case of the Mexican Peso, in July 2008, 10 pesos was the equivalent of 1 dollar. However in November, the same year, you needed 13 pesos to buy 1 dollar. Something similar happened in the case of the British Pound. In July 2008, you needed 0.51 pounds)to buy 1 dollar, but at the end of November, you needed 0.65 pounds, which means .014 more to but the American dollar.
As the Cold War came to a close, it was the United States that emerged as the only superpower, since the "loser" of the Cold War was the USSR (Russia) whose global influence had faded.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, the question is incomplete because it does not provide what kind of debate it is referring to, or who were their protagonists.
However, we can comment on the following.
As we do not know what debate the question is referring to, lets put an example when a candidate did not provide hard data or back it up
with strong reasons and evidence.
In the last presidential election, the Republican candidate accused immigrants to be dangerous people that killed American citizens in the border zone. He told that they were a threat to America. It was a simple accusation just to enrage their followers. He did not prove it with serious data. Indeed, the Media published that there had been many more crimes committed by American citizens that immigrants. But what the candidate wanted to create was a sentiment of hate to support its platform against immigration.

Answer:
The most spectacular of Roosevelt's foreign policy initiatives was the establishment of the Panama Canal. For years, U.S. naval leaders had dreamed of building a passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through Central America. During the war with Spain, American ships in the Pacific had to steam around the tip of South America in two-month voyages to join the U.S. fleet off the coast of Cuba. In 1901, the United States negotiated with Britain for the support of an American-controlled canal that would be constructed either in Nicaragua or through a strip of land—Panama—owned by Colombia. In a flourish of closed-door maneuvers, the Senate approved a route through Panama, contingent upon Colombian approval. When Colombia balked at the terms of the agreement, the United States supported a Panamanian revolution with money and a naval blockade, the latter of which prevented Colombian troops from landing in Panama. In 1903, the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty with Panama gave the United States perpetual control of the canal for a price of $10 million and an annual payment of $250,000.
When he visited Panama in 1906 to observe the building of the canal, Roosevelt became the first U.S. President to leave the country during his term of office. He wanted to see the spectacle, which became known as one of the world's greatest engineering feats. Nearly 30,000 workers labored ten-hour days for ten years to build the $400-million canal, during which time American officials were able to counteract the scourge of Yellow Fever that had ravaged large numbers of canal workers. The Panama Canal was finally completed in 1914; by 1925, more than 5,000 merchant ships had traversed the forty miles of locks each year. Once operational, it shortened the voyage from San Francisco to New York by more than 8,000 miles. The process of building the canal generated advances in U.S. technology and engineering skills. This project also converted the Panama Canal Zone into a major staging area for American military forces, making the United States the dominant military power in Central America.
