Regarding America in decline:
Suggest you see my comments above. I wrote those before reading this, and could have just as well copied them here.
We are letting other countries take us over. Someone needs to speak out and not let this happen. If it were a military adventure taking place, you could be sure we would have troops ready and fighting. Why not with global competition. I see no difference. We are in a conflict (competition) and the strongest will survive.
