I could go on and on, our status as the superpower is still very much true, even if it's waning. That said - I don't think we can expect to be number one forever, and if we were to meet our match in terms of economic, cultural and military influence worldwide, I do hope the new contender isn't China, but it's incredibly likely that it will be.

If anything the rest of world is now America, thinking of American news and celebrities and focusing on the American lifestyle. Our governments now have American citizens, are bankrolled by America and impacted by lobbying.
No, not in a thousand years will America spiral down.

If the opportunity arises, that would be Russia and/or China, and if anything, they will be worse.

Unless the Neoconservatives see an unlikely resurgence in the next few presidential elections, it is over for America.

My belief is that a total overhaul of the American government is needed. Not a communist or capitalist system, but one more akin to the EU, with each member of our Union having an official voice in the governance of the country. Not like the Articles of Confederation, but something similar.

Something that would help us form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity? Something like that?

I'm not saying we throw out the Constitution, but change how the government runs. The fact that the two-party system still exists makes this impossible, considering neither party would endorse something that would hurt their own power.

I don't know, "a total overhaul of the American government is needed" kind of tells me you do think we should throw out the Constitution.

The United States government is not morally equivalent to a terrorist organization.
