I feel like our one last chance to avoid collapse was squandered by our current president. It's enough to make the conspiracy theorist part of my brain to wonder if Obama is some sort of 5th column, inserted when it became apparent that everything was falling apart for the Republicans after 2006. In reality, it's probably just naiveté or gutlessness that has made him the failure he is today but if reviving the right wing and destroying the progressive movement were his objectives, the powers that be haven't paid him enough for the job he's done.
My one regret if America falls from our superpower status are the actions of W Bush. Prior to that, I thought we were constructing a legacy of building a community of nations that had a chance of bringing about international law. It would have been especially awesome if we had been the last superpower, handing the torch to an international body to do away with empires forever.
Some can call me an idealist but if the human race is to survive, nationalism has to eventually go the way of religion.
