People have been saying it for many years that there's a huge chance that China's going to replace the US. As things look, we're getting closer and closer to that.

If anything America has been going under ever since Ike Eisenhower. Because after Reagan's failed star wars, and the failure of trickle down economics and supply side economics that Reagan claimed, America has been on a slow march toward mediocrity and the fact that the US is being more and more like a colonial power is what's frustrating. If you look at the history of nations, colonialism is a sign of decay and I just hope that we can get out of Iraq, get out of Afghanistan, if we really need to worry about terrorists, we just need better intelligence, but occupying a foreign country is going to get us nowhere.
