that is retarded. Find me one idiot that thinks the US, or any country will remain in power or even exist millions of years from now or even hundreds of years from now.
At the same time I highly doubt the people who are saying we are going to fail, be passed up, etc... whatever are talking about some point before the end of time. If they don't state the time, it is implied in all cases that it will be rather sooner than later. Look at the article that this thread was started about, China will pass up the US in 20 years. I think everyone but the thread starter knows that is bullshit. But, one day, 100 years from now or a thousand etc... sure it is possible China may rule the world for all we know.
you are nit picking here and way off base.
