How do you picture America in 10 years?

Good question. The Democratics should regain the White House and both Congressional houses.The Middle East problem will still be the big question along with economic competition from Inida and China. The great divid between the poor and the rich will widen shrinking the middle class even more. By the year 2016, a draft will be effect. Women will also be drafted for non-combat positions. As far as economics there will be another boom market for the internet as the late 1990s. This time, however, more experienced with internet communications, businesses will be more geared toward interaction with customers. Meaning businesses will take the e-bay method of selling. You will be bargaining for goods instead of paying one set price.

We won't know the real answer to that question until about 10 years from now.  If you are worried, make them write some.

The most ominous problem that will affect the US easily in the next 5 or 10 years will be the overpopulation of such countries as Red China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, etc, along with the declining fortunes of the US and Europe.\nRed China has been quietly sabotaging and infiltrating the US since they killed JFK for starters, and are now openly getting military about it all.  They are behind the "Terrorists" and most of the troubles we face across the world today.  Just think, the world's population is suppossed to be DOUBLED by 2012, and yet Red China will run out of food and energy sources for their own people alone in 2010, or so, I have heard on TV.  The only good news is that such may catch up to them before they can invade Taiwan, Japan, Hawaii, California, etc.

Honestly, whether the U.S. military leaves or not, Iraq is bound to have a bloody next 5-10 or even 20 years.  And for what?\n\nFOR WHAT???

I am a Christan and would fight to the death for my country. \n\nAs for how America will fall, I seriously doubt we will fall from outside forces. We WILL fall and we will fall from within. The signs are already there. (but I do feel we are still about 75-100 years from that)

Per year? Or since 1776?

We all know all good things come to an end, just like the Roman empire came to an end after 600 hundred years, i believe the U.S. will last no more than 2,000 years. I hope I will be proven wrong but that is my best guess.

There are cyclical theorists that have charted American history in 80-year cycles (I recommend the book "The Fourth Turning" by William Strauss and Neil Howe).  If their 80-year cycles hold true, then the U.S. will face another Great Depression/World War II-level crisis within the next 5-15 years.  Every time the U.S. faces a crisis like this, it runs the risk of bringing about the end of our nation (or at least as we know it.)  How long will Pax Americana last?  No idea, but we'll have our next challenge soon.

Good question - when will Americans realize that they do need other people?  When will Americans realize that the world doesn't stop at their border?  When will Americans realize that they need to be accountable for their place in the world?  When will Americans stop being such stupid, ignorant people?  When will Americans realize that no super-power lasts forever, and they fun in the sun will end?\n\nThe answer my friend is blowing in the wind...

During the next 5 years, I hope to see a Democratic sweep in all state and Federal governments (at least we will get a different set of lies), I am afraid we will see rampant inflation, horrid interest rates, serious weather pattern changes including more and more serious hurricanes on the East Coast. I expect that during the next 10 years, our ocean levels to begin rising causing more and more flooding in the gulf and East Coast. We well could face a serious uprising of the population due to the Iraq ordeal...very much like we had with Viet Nam. I do not foresee good times ahead. I also think our problems with Mexico have just started. I hope I am wrong.

Americans look forward to the future while Europeans look back to the past.
