US may collapse as a superpower

It was a foregone conclusion a long time ago and it really isn't all that bad a thing.

The Bush administration and the Rethug Congress has brought this about through their action and inaction over the past 6 1/2 years.

Unfortunately, those of us who have seen this coming for years will have to endure the worsening nightmare right along with the nitwits with their heads stuck firmly up their butts.

The World Today - US may collapse as a superpower: analyst:

A US military analyst who's served in the armed forces and has written on international affairs for more than two decades, is issuing a warning today about the collapse of the United States as a superpower.

In his latest book, The Mess they Made: the Middle East after Iraq, Gwynne Dyer says there's no doubt that the US will withdraw its troops from Iraq once President George W. Bush leaves office.

But he predicts that already that war has set in motion events that will radically transform not only the Middle East but the role of the United States in the world.
