Quote:US may collapse as a superpower: analyst
The World Today - Friday, 1 June , 2007 12:27:00
Reporter: Eleanor Hall
ELEANOR HALL: A Canadian 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.
Gwynne Dyer is in Sydney this week and he joined me earlier in the World Today studio.
There've been a series of conflicts in the Middle East over the last 40 years, why do you see this latest war in Iraq as likely to be so transformative for the region?...

I agree!
Trust you to look on the brighter side of things.
I don't
Illegal attack? Yeah right
Zippo is still upset about the collapse of his manhood. Poor baby.
The thing is, this collapsing process would not have started if Clinton was around.
Bush has brought this country to it's knees, and there are people who would still kiss his @$$.

I think Clinton will be remembered for bringing something (someone) else to their knees.

Not so fast. While Clinton was head and shoulders above Bush as a president, he did a lot of things that helped to set this train in motion.
I have not studied history extensivly however it does seem to me that the US is following a path that resembles the demise of ancient communities of influence such as Egypt, Greece, Rome.
Extensive waste, overuse of natural resources, hedonistic lifestyles, large rich/poor gaps.
GWB is the Manchurian Candidate. He is an agent of Communist China to destroy the United States.
