Who said we were the most powerful? Most aggressive maybe, poorest leader possibly, we may be many things but the most powerful? Not. Several years ago, our fearless leader declared 'Mission Accomplished" in Iraq, meaning the worst was over. Gee, a small country like Iraq and we are still there? Didn't the Soviet Union occupy them for about 10 years and finally gave in from exhaustion? Why can't we beat them? China 200'000'000 man army will kick tail one day. I am not anti-American. I just think that the Bush administration has made this country a little less than it was before. Just my opinion.

With the US going more than a billion dollars a day into debt, someday the rest of the world might ask to be paid back. Keep buying all those luxury goods made in China and screwing the rest of the world over with blatantly arrogant, interfering and self serving foreign policies and one day like all schoolyard bullies the US will get their comeuppance. The stupidity of an american public voting an oil baron as their president, and the worship of the dollar over all, makes me think that it will be well deserved and will come much sooner than we think, possibly from the poor downtrodden masses in their own backyards with no health care or social security network while trillions are spent on ludicrous military escapades.

It depends on what factors you consider - such as wealth, military, geographic location, etc.
It doesn't seem that US is strong as it was before. We (as Americans) are losing our independence and starting to morph with the world - we just aren't self-sufficient as before, since we are involving ourselves with issues that go beyond America but are international (such as our involvement in wars, politics, and interference).
With competition from other rising powers like China, India, and (possibly) Soviet Union, it's likely that the US will probably be a "powerful" country in the future, but not "the most powerful" country.

That's in questions right now. We don't even know who owns the US. Try and figure out who's actually running it. I think the communist all migrated here and we lost it a long time ago; we just haven't noticed it yet.

I think that we are quickly losing this moniker. China and India are both on the rise and soon we will be answering to the both of them. America has grown complacent and it may be too late to stop the spiral.

As long as we can continue to convince the rest of the world that we are.

The way things are going now, not much longer.
edit: Yeah, what he said. If China ever gets it together, we're screwed.
