Buff I commend you on a well written and thought out response.
I however beleive, through what History has taught us, that histry is no different than weather patterns. Every 30 years (not postivie on the actual number of years) weather patterns return to their original point of origin and begin the same exact cycle, trade winds, hurricanes, el nino, etc.
History will repeat itself over and over as it has for the past 5,000 years of recorded human life. The egyptians controlled much of the world as they knew it until they were defeated. THe Greeks did very much the same thing, followed by Rome. followed by Britain,the muslims, then the crazy Monguls, turks,spanish, french, and british. Until came the United states.
what all these countries have in common as that at one point in time they controlled the world and at another point in time they were overthrown. It is only a matter of time before the United states is over thrown and replaced as the superpower of the world. in the course of the last 200 years no single emipire lasted in greatness longer than 50 years, and the US has been the only exception.

One way or another our strength will be challenged, only in this day in age it may not be by military force but more so an unwillingness to co operate with the US, either through economic sanctions or be it that another country such as CHina or Japan decide to become the Worlds center of commerce and the US will no longer control the worlds market.
I beleive in the next 20 years the US will no longer be the Worlds super power, we will not be reduced to slavery or invasion from another govt. But I do beleive we will have to take a back seat as England has and France and allow another country to have it's turn at being the worlds policy maker
My TWO cents....

and I'm an american living in Canada
