The United States has no 'empire'. We don't forcefully govern any other countries or use our military to take countries over or enslave populations. You've been misinformed by lies and propaganda.

it is not an empire of any kind that the world has seen in the past. nothing like the british empire or the romans. It is just a fairly large country with a rich population.
seems to be on par with ancient egyptions, there were big in there time, but didnt really do much for planet earth

Okay, number one, you need to learn how to spell the name of something you're criticizing.

Two, you need to know what the thing that you're criticizing is -- as in, we're not an empire.

Three, you need to learn how to write in general.

And four, I really hope you got something out of the few seconds it took you to type that up. Nobody else did.

Next time, try thinking up a question that requires brain-power to answer.

To actually respond to the question: I really can't answer for a nation that doesn't exist. I can't find the "United Statian Empire" on a map...

Technically speaking, we are a representative republic, not a democracy, nor should we be an empire (Whether leadership in the last couple of decades has changed that is a matter up for some debate). But is life in the US as we know it about to change? Maybe, just maybe.

John Dewey quotation from his 1924 essay "Science, Belief, and the Public" :
The fundamental defect in the present state of democracy is the assumption that political and economic freedom can be achieved without first freeing the mind. Freedom of mind is not something that spontaneously happens. It is not achieved by the mere absence of obvious restraints. It is a product of constant, unremitting nurture of right habits of observation and reflection.
Until the taboos that hedge social topics from contact with thought are removed, scientific method and results in subjects far removed from social themes will make little impression upon the public mind. Prejudice, fervor of emotion, bunkum, opinion and irrelevant argument will weigh as heavily as fact and knowledge. Intellectual confusion will continue to encourage the men who are intolerant and who fake their beliefs in the interests of their feelings and fancies.

No I don't

Remember the roman empire took 400 years to fall, and the US has only been powerful for 50 years or so.

Also the US derives much of its strength from diversity created by immigration, and its democratic processes.

Terrorism by Al-Qaeda might be compared to the barbarians who helped to bring down Rome, but the influence of Al-Qaeda is tiny.

No, but the power Bush thinks he has, is about done.

America will never be run by an out of control dictator under the guise of President

An independent will step in and flush the lobbyist's and those who have been bought in Washington.

We will no longer be controlled by foreign interests and banks.

Once that happens America will be America again, and those who sold her out will pay eternally.

Only if Empress Pelosi actually assumes control of all the government.

Except for the fact that we are not an Empire, we are a Democracy. And no, our end is not near.
