Bush government may attack to Iran(an attack to Syria is also within possibilities) or support the attack of Israel. But I don’t think that it is going to be within one year at least since USA may have some trouble in its backyard within forthcoming months. Brazil-China relations become closer. There is already a tension with Venezuela. There will be elections in around 10 South-America countries in 2006. At the end of this year, USA may have other Chavezes to deal with. USA is already in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is risky to attack not only Iran but any other country before having stability in the backyard. \n\nYou may look over the following link to see whats going there.\nAnalysis: How the US 'lost' Latin America \nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4861320.stm

America has become the pariah of the world: arrogant, selfish, self-centred, ignorant, pseudo-fascist, careless of world opinion, disregarding global warming, ignoring international law, greedy and ugly. The future lies with the East: China and India. It will take more than just ditching Bush and his criminal friends to change things. In the meantime, international hatred of the USA will drive it even further into militarism and prejudice.

Smart point!  The calamity will be in the usa.  I delivered UN supplies to africa for several years and we DO not want it here.  Angelina's bleeding heart will cost us. Gun Manufactures start extra shifts and open 24 hour gun shopsFor every one of "them" that survive , you will see the US Government relocating them - and guess where to?  You will have generations of heatherns,  thieves, rapists, violent tribe-ists running the inner cities of america.

I believe that it would cause a huge disruption to the economy. Saudi deposits total almost 8% of the GDP of the US. I believe that you may have heard that statement from the documentary by Michael Moore.

Better technology and medicine is a given. Gas prices will probably be higher. People will continue to complain about the economy but no one will do anything about it. We'll have a different president (the way things are going now, probably a Democrat), but we'll still have troops over in Iraq. TV shows like "The Simpsons" and "Friends" will continue to be on reruns every other hour. Americans will continue their dieting craze, but won't stop eating fast food. More doomsayers will emerge, just as people did right before Y2K. And as for resolving the immigration issue, I really have no idea...

You're obviously very worried about the future of the US, and I think your concern is wellfounded.  The key potential danger posed by the actions of the Bush regime has to do with its threat to the "balance of powers" within the US constitutional system.  The idea touted by the Bushies that the Executive branch can do whatever it deems necessary to defend the country from terrorism, without *any* oversight by or accountability to the Legislative or Judicial branches, is a direct assault on a fundamental underpinning of the freedoms we all hold dear.  \n\nThe key to the future of the country is the 2006 elections.  If the Republicans are able to hold on to the power they have now, they will be able to cement that hold by gaming the system beyond recovery, and ordinary working folk will be steamrolled by powerful economic interests.  If they lose some of that power, we may yet be able to salvage our democracy.\n\nMy suggestion to you is that you register to vote, and get as many of your friends to do so as possible.

Not for the country.\n\nIt can, in the few years to come, become like Russia where the income gap between the rich and poor widens drastically.\n\nChina is slated to be the next economic power and is not gonna help slow down US economy slide.\n\nEven US companies are moving out of US into other countries like India.\n\nMost citizens will suffer and the rich will simply venture out to invest.

according to http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/mx.html\n"Recent administrations have expanded competition in seaports, railroads, telecommunications, electricity generation, natural gas distribution, and airports. Per capita income is one-fourth that of the US."\n\nIt goes on to say "The FOX administration is cognizant of the need to upgrade infrastructure, modernize the tax system and labor laws, and allow private investment in the energy sector, but has been unable to win the support of the opposition-led Congress. The next government that takes office in December 2006 will confront the same challenges of boosting economic growth, improving Mexico's international competitiveness, and reducing poverty. "\n\nIndustries:   \nfood and beverages, tobacco, chemicals, iron and steel, petroleum, mining, textiles, clothing, motor vehicles, consumer durables, tourism.  NOTICE: petroleum, ...to the US.  it's where we get our gas, folks.

Skifaster,\nSerious question and I hope you see this again.  Everything you say is true and Evo could certainly be a concern.  However, do you seriously think the US should overthrow a Democratically-elected leader while spreading democracy in another Hemisphere?  It seems to me that that would even further harm our international image and make it impossible to work further trade deals in our own hemisphere.

I think through time, moving to the Euro is a possibility. It may be an ego blow to red blooded Americans, but not particularly damaging to the economy.\n\nWith regard to invade, I not sure that is a practical necessity, more likely they will attempt to destroy facilities perceived to be active in nuclear work, while applying external pressure through sanctions.

Your idea is great. I would love it. You can practically go anywhere in your own country !! Cool. Plus think of it, no cross border terrorism, no wars, no nothing. We wolud be living in a peaceful world. Most of the evils in this world are due to difference in any two countries. One is more developed then other this and that. Though your idea is pretty good, I am afraid that what you say beholds true! Indeed, Human greed for power and wealth will not make it possible in first place cause everyone in the political field today, atleast the president's of today's countries will want to be the supreme of this new country and there will be conflicts. And Secondly, even if it takes place, the developed will develop more while poor will become poorer as the competetio will increase far more than ever. That is a brilliant idea. But do no feel sad, you can still dream about it tonight because I know, I will. I definately will.\nSo Long. Keep thinkin of more of such ideas. Bye

yes...Look people the next big one will start with nukes going off at the same time in Tel Aviv, NY, DC, and London. That will be from Iran's Hamas, next will be freighters in all of the US shipping ports having nukes in lead shielded boxes in the fuel oil tanks of merchant ships. That will effectively take the US completely out of it in the first 30mins of WW3 Now after that North Korea will take South Korea and China will take Japan and as much of Russia as possible. Europe will wisely sue for peace with China as the new World Super power. After things calm down a bit negotiations between the EU and China will take place. The former US will be divided up between the two based upon the premise that France will not nuke what is left. During these negotiations the EU and China will also plan a lightning take over of the middle east which will also be divided up between the two powers. When all is said and done there will be peace and technological progress unheard of before.

THE US WILL WITHDRAW FROM EVERYWHERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND MOVE TO MARS WHERE THEY WILL OPEN A TEA SHOP AND SELL CURRANT BUNS AND CREAM CAKES...THIS I HAVE SEEN.!!!

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.

Diabolically, nuking Mexico will affect the US because of the radiation.  Likewise, it will drive more Mexicans to go north - USA.

Everything is cyclical. The US reached the height of her power and is now in decline. The US is a debtor nation and it is only a matter of time until the US economy collapses to the point the US will be unable to sustain her imperialist policies.\n\nPredicting the future is impossible but the most likely outcome is that the US will become just another minor player on the world stage.\n\nMother nature will take care of herself and if human activity seriously threatens her balance, she will remove enough humans to restore balance. Humans concerning themselves with worrying about mother nature is folly. Mother nature can take care of herself. Of course, humans probably won't like her methods, but that is of no concern to her.\n\nThe world will survive, humans may not.
