Cats, 200 years is nothing. In that 200 years, America has had its supremacy for, what, 70 years? Hardly something to brag about. Someone earlier mentioned that the USA is unlikely to collapse because other nations would 'come to its rescue because everyone wants to keep the status quo', well the fact is that it's always been that way. No one would have thought the English empire would have fallen, the Roman, the Persian. But they did.
The USA's supremacy is already coming to an end. The European Union is already a lot larger than the US economy and China is fast catching up. Taking Europe as a whole in comparison to the USA, well the USA can't even come close to the culture, music, art, science, economic or production power of Europe. Not even close.
Look I love the USA and hell I'd love to live in California but America hasn't really got much going for it (nowadays). Americans golden age was like 1920-1960. Someone earlier mentioned that America has the power to vanquish any civilization in existence today... well as a matter of fact they haven't without the use of ICBNs, which a lot of other nations have the ability to use as well. The USA hasn't even got the ability to conquer Afghanistan, let alone any civilization they wanted to.
As for defeating Islamic fundamentalism, well that's still hardly completed is it? I mean Obama is still alive and kicking, and there's hardly an end to bombs and stuff is there?
