Thread Name: BS: How the US will finally lose its power?
Subject: RE: BS: How the US will finally lose its power?
Hey folks... a reality check. We have had many comments about how the Republicans are responsible for trying to take over the world and that such hubris will eventually cause our down-fall.

Try this one on: Bush has just won two military engagements demonstrating conclusively that the US is vastly the most powerful nation in the history of earth. Yet, virtually all political commentators have stated that if he doesn't do something about the economy, he may well lose the next election and be out of power. And he must carefully submit his budgets, selctions for public office and even his war plans to a democratically elected legislative body This is not conjecture; it's exactly what happened to his father. It's what happened to Churchill. It is not what happened to Saddam, Stalin, or Mao.

I would like to suggest that a Nation that has the ability to change leaders who do not provide for the wishes and concerns of it's citizenry, has a great chance to go on for many many years, and is functionally capable of existing for the duration of Earth itself.
