Man, look at all the vultures circling. Somehow an isolated failure to respond to a natural disaster means that America is going down? Please. America seemed to do fine last year when Florida was hit with five hurricanes; much of this disaster can be directly attributed to the failure of Louisiana state gov't to have adequate disaster recovery.
America isn't going anywhere for a long time. China might rise in power, but even that's debatable. And China will never rise as high simply because their growth comes at the expense of the majority of their people, and doesn't enrich them to the extent that their economic growth would be expected to. And as for the EU, most of the member nation's economies are in serious trouble. Besides, especially after the elections earlier this year, seeing them as a single political entity seems naive at best since many in the member nations themselves aren't in favour of linking up any more than in the loose economic ways they have currently.
