With all should know how in debt the US is with other countries, Europe, Venezuela, China, and with their own citizens. A lot of money is being spent in the war? Does a loss mean fall of the American Empire.
England went the same way, Rome did, etc..
What is your opinion? Is this a death of life situation for the US?
How would this country be able to pay such a big debts to those other countries, which by the way are no so friendly with the US?

The US has been bogged down by this stupid war while the rest of the world has gone ahead of America.
Bush has rewound the tape and cause America to slip back into the dark ages.
But there is hope. Vote for any Democrat.
The Republicans are too selfish and self absorb to do anything good for America.

It's not the loss of the 'war' that will result in the fall of the USA as the world's most powerful nation. It's our own hubris, avarice, arrogance and immorality.
We are now China's largest debtor. Once China cuts off our 'credit cards', we won't be able to finance our military (just as Russia can't today). Then China will send its three-million-man army over here and "foreclose", taking whatever it wants: military hardware; natural resources; banks; real estate; weapons of mass destruction; even our women if there's a demand for western sex slaves on the international market.
Bush's folly has put American taxpayers TRILLIONS of dollars in debt, which it might never be able to repay even if the tax rate jumps to 84% (which experts predict might happen in less than twenty years; that means your sons and daughters will have to earn $100,00 a year and learn to live on $16,000 since the rest will go to the feds).
Like the Greek and Roman empires before us, the United States of America will collapse. Expect the worst economic depression in the country within a year or two after Bush leaves office. Think I'm crazy as a loon? Why not print this out and put it in your safety deposit box for a few years just to see how close I came to being right!! -RKO- 05/27/07

The war in Iraq is only using up $120 Billion a year which isn't very much. The only way the United States will fall is with democrats in power.

on an analogous time as you're possibly hinting at Christ or capitalism or (i'd relatively prefer to think of so) Coolidge..., the respond is coalition, or greater particularly, coalition length. A winning coalition is the help base mandatory for leaders to maintain potential. IR and comparative theorists including Bueno de Mesquita, Alastair Smith, Jim Morrow, etc. have written particularly on how the scale of a state's winning coalition (extraordinarily in terms of standard inhabitants) impacts state coverage. US leaders have trusted the countless best winning coalitions in history. this easy actuality explains US selection for public products (rule of regulation, human rights, transparency, etc) over private products (cronyism, kleptocracy, different varieties of corruption, etc). It additionally enables clarify decrease tax costs, greater advantageous financial enhance, greater advantageous attempt to win wars, and a bunch of different factors that have helped make the US the main useful us of a on earth.

While the national debt is immense, it is still only a relatively small percentage of this country's wealth. It is approx. proportioned to a billionaire who has a total debt load of maybe a quarter million dollars.

Well, it just doesn't make sense for us to spend almost an entire century fighting and winning the war against totalitarian Nazism and Communism and then not have the resolve to solve this situation as well. But we will fail as long the people don't support the war. It's very sad, and I'm ashamed of the American people.

America has survived difficulties in the past. She will survive a strategic withdrawal from Iraq. And she will continue to prosper and flourish when her resources are re-directed back to building herself as a strong and intelligent country.
