That's a pretty apt analogy, actually. The Roman Empire collapsed on it's self from internal problems and plunged the World in to the Dark Ages. Many even blame the introduction of Christianity for the decline of the Empire.
Many economies are either indirectly or directly linked to the US economy. A complete failure of the US would have devestating affects World wide.
