Bah. And bah again.
First - people need to get off the WWIII idea. It might very well happen sometime in the future. But let me tell you that Iraq is no where near WWIII. Really the phrase needs to stop being invoked like some sort of banshee for the future of the world. I see no trends prevalent that would signify some sort of coming apocalypse for the US. People sense WWI & WWII - they were not spontaneous events, they had build ups - I am yet to see evidence of a similar build up here.
Second - Why do people always seem to think war will be responsible? For all the great empires past - sure, plenty have fallen to war, but almost as many have succumbed due to economic considerations, internal problems, been culturally assimilated, just faded out naturally. Stop focusing on war.
Third - Really people need to stop believing that just because it is probable and indeed likely that the US won't be the global super power one day, it doesn't mean the nation wont exist, or its people, or its achievements. The majority of the worlds nations aren't super powers. The majority of the worlds nations haven't been super powers. It doesn't mean they haven't done great things. If the US one day looses power, unless it is annihilated, or changes drastically, it will still exist. The US should not be seen as another word for super power. It has been lucky, like so many before it, and like countless yet to come.
