Let's face it, America has overstretched its capabilites thanks to the Bush Administration. We are more hated around the world than liked (Same as Rome) and are seeing a huge decline in dominance from emerging economies not too different than the bandit groups that helped disable Rome.
Rebuplican Gunboat diplomacy may one day cause this great country to cease from existance.
