Let's discuss how America is better than all of the other countries in the world.

And where is our OP trying to discuss how America is so great?

Mookie though I agree with the first part of your post, it is also my belief that Americans also rely too heavily on the last part of your post.

America WILL rebound from its decline, but who's to say it will happen this decade or in another Generation As I stated in a different post, I believe the path America is on will follow in the footsteps of the USSR.

Please don't take this as a comparison to the Communist USSR, rather I believe that, as the USSR was a superpower that collapsed for a number of reason, so too do I believe that the U.S will fall (Not collapse and disintegrate mind you). It is my belief that no superpower can stand alone without competition nor huge resource production, two things the U.S is lacking currently. After a superpower lacks competition, there is no incentive to keep pushing, and thus after a time, it will consume itself. Indeed, the amount of debt that America owes to the new budding superpower, China, is staggering.

Please don't take this as a knock against the states, rather this is just my un-proffessional opinion and prediction of what will happen to the States.

Edit: Sorry thought just came to me as I clicked submit; but perhaps this modern day and age isn't really America falling back as a nation, but rather, the rest of the world catching up to America as it remains stagnant? What do you think?
