Do you think that America will always be the only superpower? Even after 100 years?

No, I think it is impossible. Greater empires than ours have come and gone over the ages. The Roman Empire, the Huns, Alexander the Great, the Persian Empire, the Chinese Dynasties, the Islamic Empire. All were much larger, were around for centuries, and all imploded under the pressure of their own greatness. Just as our sun will some day implode, so will our country.

Check out your history. Has any power stayed on top. They all crumble from within even if undefeated. Look around you listen, can't you hear it crumbling. It will take a while but there are unpatched cracks everywhere. You may not have been here long enough to see them cuz you think this is the way it has always been but not so.

No, we are in the "teenage" stage being a very young nation. In other words, we feel invincible. But, now, we are borrowing money and in tremendous debt to other countries...like China!
Every empire comes to an end, and at the rate we are going with the basic structure of the family crumbling (not type of family, but type of interaction), we might fall sooner than later.

Having digressed into purely 2 significant events and an electoral college equipment which could over-experience the will of the folk is how we've been given the place we are interior the 1st place. what's mandatory is greater options that could desire to also have a mathematical danger of being elected so as that we are able to end the polarization and corruption of the two the Dem's AND Rep's. (alongside with outlawing Lobbyist, %s and great %s and a few extreme marketing campaign Finance reform) (AND WHO MADE US THE "worldwide" MORALITY POLICE? , what we are is the guffawing inventory of the worldwide and a significant occasion of what to not enable your united states develop into...) .

With people like Bush in office the world will not have to wait long.
America will soon be down like the good old Roman & British Empires.
Those with the policies of "live and don't let live" have never lived long.

nope. i was hoping I would have more faith in this government than I do right now, but it is not doing the people any good. They say it is in the name of protecting us, but they are only taking away more rights. In the mean time, the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. throughout history empires have only lasted a few hundred years until they start to fall. this one is past that.

No. It is inevitable that another power will rise to supplant the US as the world's superpower. Look to Europe for this.

Not after we have more terrorists attacks, one after the other for the next 5 to 10 years.

Not a hope in hell. All imperialistic empires crumble. History tells us that. America is trying it`s damned hardest to ceate a world in it`s own image.
I raise my glass to the revolutionaries who oppose this abomination.
