How long do you think American supremacy will continue to overlay the shadows on development of other nations?

Developing nations are creating their own problems. The US gives them more aid than most of them do for themselves.

Of course. The US has enemies like any other country.

It's happening right now before your eyes. The USA is becoming marginalized just like Europe and most recently England. It will be drastically apparent in about 20 years, as China begins to approach the US economy in overall size (GDP).\n\nIt is interesting to see that some Americans are starting to sense something historical is happening. Historians of the future 100 years from now, will look back at the early 1990's when China first started taking off. Yes, it has been happening for that long, but 99% of Americans just didn't pay attention, now there is no stopping China and India from becoming the center of the world for what probably will be for the rest of the existence of humanity.

I think that we will have a military prescence in those two countries for many years to come.  Look at Germany and Japan. 60 years after the end of WWII and we still have forces in those two countries.

over a hundred year period, America will cease to be the global force that it is today, the chances of Australia taking its place are slim. \n\nThe contenders at the moment seem to be a United Europe, China and India.

I think that this question is totally irrelevant. If Iran( or any muslim nation against USA)  builds nuclear facilities (civilian or military) americans will destroy that country (only becoz they c them as a threat).\n\nI think that america's common sense has been permanantly crippled by bin laden. Post 911 America views the whole world suspiciously (except their slaves in UK and friends in Israel). America has ever since been contradicting themselves. Remember the war in iraq, it was fought bcoz bush claimed to have evidence of non existent weapons and the threat of a dictator.My question to the world is "If iraq , y not pakistan?". Mushy's a dictator and one who openly admits to having nuclear weapons.\n\nI predict that soon the patience of the international community will run out. A grand alliance (Russia, China , France , India and the Arab world) could be formed so that america and americans will exist only in history textbooks.

Its been happening for ages, Gangus Con, Julius Cesar,Adolf Hittler, and now George Bush. Its the never ending struggle for Power. What seperates Bush from all the others is that they didnt try to mask there intensions. Just about every SuperPower in history lasted about 100 years before there fall. As I see it, the U.S. has been the "Big Boy on the block for at least that long give or take a decade. If history repeats itself as in the past, were due to take a fall. Sooner or later, all Bullys fall.

It is a possibility.  There are a few countries, including India and China, which are starting to gain in power and strength.  This is a good thing for world stability.  It is unhealthy for one country to be the ultimate superpower and to think it can run the entire world.  Increasing power gains by other countries will challenge the US and "put it in its place."

Yes. Unless and until second superpower confronts the US.

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)

Americans will die and will keep on dying, as long as their politicians want to get mixed up in other countries' affairs, and find enough fools to vote for them. \n\nHistorically, all countries that were strong and rich used those assets in never ending wars, until they became exhausted and poor. Another country then took over and the cycle carried on. I think it is in man's genes to want to rule others

HELL NO!  America is tending to interfere in other countrys matters far too much. They should realise by now that the second world war ended in 1945 with the unification of italy. The two super powers were usa and Russia. Russia got over it that times change but its just that usa is still stuck on the whole "super power of the world" thing. What happens in iraq and the middle east is their concern and they will sort it out their way usa has no right to interfere. usa has oil reserves that it can use but it wants to use the oil in the middle east that belongs to them but then kinda mysteriously got under iraq. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Civilizations have life cycles just like anything else.  Right now the U.S. is dominant, but who's to say how long that will last?

USA will continue as long as people have faith in democracy and freedom.

America is a tool for the new world order and global domination of course it's all a facade... i cant count the number of times that bush and the other politicians have stated a... "New world order" under the auspices of the united nations... "we are just puppets pulled by the strings of the world"!

yes and it will until the US stops explotating them for their resources and cheap labor. the biggerr issue isnt race, it a justification, the issue is greed and money
