Recovery requires acknowledgement and taking responsibility. And sadly, I don't see that happening. Most Americans complain about one party or another, but they don't realize the declined state the US is in with respect to the global picture. And they honestly don't care about that. They have no interest in what other countries think or say or do.

Like an alcoholic...until America stands up and says, "We are America, and as a country, we are in big trouble...", nothing will change and the decline and backslide will only continue...

Political partisianship takes at least two sides......and both sides have leadership positions. As far as diplomacy and leadership, how do you know it's poor or lacking? You can't trust the news, thy're trying to sell you something. That's why it's called a business. Hollywood is also composed of corporations...what do you think Sony Pictures Corp, Walt Disney, Dreamworks SKB are? History will be the best judge. There are usually at least sides to story....yours, mine, and the truth. BTW, I'm not a member of either party.

America isn't an Empire, not since FDR anyway, based on your prognosis above. You could argue that FDR was a poor leader, he didn't listen to people in his staff, he was very much a my way or the highway leader, like Bush. He didn't want to negotiate any surrender with the Japanese except for COMPLETE surrender, didn't budge, hundreds of thousands of Japanese died as a result of his leadership, well, you could argue Truman, but I won't hear it, Truman was essentially told to carry FDR's torch.

As for Political Partinism, there was plenty of that during WWII, draft board corruption, cronyism etc.

Now, since America isn't an Empire, we will be electing a new leader in 2008, thus, in theory, probably new ideas, and new "poor leadership" or maybe some wunderkind will come in and save the day. Essentially America is doomed to be the kid on the block that everyone hates anyway, because of our affluence.

Short answer, yes, we will recover, it is what Americans do best mein freund.

It will take a loss from a World War and complete decimation of their standing military, with a clear and fair reconstructioning plan that doesn't overly oppress them.

Compare and contrast the state of Germany after WWI and WWII... the first time around the European nations pissed them off too much with th treaty of versailles and set the stage for Hitler to rise... after WWII we learned our lesson and were fair with them, so the germans quit being angry little bitches and started behaving.

So yes, America will only get better after somebody blasts their forces from the face of the world, then spares their ultimate demise.

Honestly, I don't care if it does because after going downhill like this, I don't think America deserves recovery.
