But, this time it's going to be different, because the hungry

You are probably being overly pessimistic - your current Republican
administration has managed to get your country to the verge of
collapse by a combination of ignorance and corruption, but they
haven't yet managed to get it over the edge. Amongst your surviving
crop of presidential candidates, only Mike Huckabee is ignorant and
ill-informed enough to follow Dubbya's road to ruin, and he doesn't
look to have any chance of getting his party's nomination.

Either way, this country is never going to be what it used to be. You
folks in the EU economic areas (as well as Asian, South American,
Middle East and others) should plan on making your fortunes without
depending on the USA market.


Europe is not going to last as long as the US;they are going to surrender
to the Islamics long before we do.

I think Europe has a far better chance of getting the Islamic
Fundamentalists under control than we do with the Christians. The fact
that the EU even acknowledges a problem might exist puts hem way ahead
of the USA.
