Is America a Waning Empire?

The Guardian: Decline and fall of the American empire:

Let me put an alternative hypothesis. America in 2011 is Rome in 200AD or Britain on the eve of the first world war: an empire at the zenith of its power but with cracks beginning to show.

There are quite a few similarities, though there are some differences, too. Read the whole thing.

We have a foreign monarch in the White House. The leader of the Free West could be a operative for Saudi Arabia. In the USA the Marxist professors and the Islamist have joined just as they did in the Iranian revolution. The Muslim Student Association is dominating our college campuses. The Marxists have forgotten that the Islamists always kill all the Marxists after the take over. The majority of Americans support Israel but seem to be powerless to stop the Soetoro agenda.
