Kat, I posted a fairly long and very detailed message on American
global dominance. Before I reiterate those points, I'd ask that you
explain _why_, given the evidence that I supplied, and the numerous
reasons to believe that the state of affairs that I described will
continue - and in fact increase - you nonetheless believe that the
United States is, in some fashion, a nation in decline compared to
other global powers.
