Do you mean the United States or Western Civilization?
If the Former, it is impossible to tell how long the United States will exist as a political entity. The answer partly rests on the later question and also on how well the US can continue to make decisions on the world stage and influence other nations. This in turn depends on the economic viability of the US which depends itself on many factors including resources, education levels of the populace, size of the populace and scientific advancements.
Civilization as a whole could very well continue with the collapse and break up of the US, (although it would be a sore economic blow.) At this point, I think you would have to have a much more serious disaster, such a largish meteor, another ice age, major pandemic, nuclear war, etc. before western civilization collapsed.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." – C.
