Well I think the the U.S.A has not reached it's peak as an empire.
This is how I it will go, Bush will invade Iraq, and make it the fifty first state. He will name it George E. and make Anna Nicole Smith governor.

Every one will be happy for years and years until we have sucked all the oil out of George. We will have a new president by this time, his name will be P. Green.
He was a war hero during the George Doesn't Like Saddam War. His supply ship, the USS Rusty Tubb, made a wrong turn and ended up in the Artic Ocean. The ship happened to be carring 200,000 tons of canned peas and engine oil to the front. Unfortantly winter approached and the the ship became encased in ice. They were out of food, the Captian was facing mutiny, but lucky for him he had a galley hand like Green. Green was sitting on the head one day thinking"We're out of food, all there is ice and peas.Then it hit him.
He made green pea soup. He saved his captian and his crews lives, he was hero. For three months they survived on his green pea soup, until a group of kayaker happened by and found them.
Any way to continue my story. Green left the service after the war and made a fortune with his company P Green Soup Corp.
His company slogan was one that had started on his ship during those long three months.

What'd ya have for breakfast?
PEA GREEN SOUP!
What'd ya have for lunch
PEA GREEN SOUP!
What'd ya have for supper
PEA GREEN SOUP!
What'd ya do all night
PEE GREEN SOUP!

Americans loved him. So he ran for President, promising two cans of P Green's soup in ever cupboard. He won in contested race againt Bow Wow.
Now to get back to the empire. Green seeing that George was running out of oil. Decided that the United States need to find another source of oil,(not so much for automobiles, but because it was the secret ingredient in his soup.) So green Invaded the rest of the world in search of oil, there was none to be found. No longer able to get there hand on his soup(people had been dumping it in their gas tanks for years, no one would eat that crap). rebelions started all over the world . And thus the Great United State Empire would end. P Green went into hiding with Elvis and was never heard from again.
Or maybe not.

[quote="Old Reliable":1e3d8]Well, just like in the past when old empires such as Roman, Byzantine, Persian...will countries like the US, Canada, UK, Russia collapse and become totally different pieces of land? Hmm...my wording seems very basic...need sleep :-?[/quote:1e3d8]

Since when was Canada (great country, but don't make me laugh), the UK or Russia really an Empire? The only superpowers are the US and the EU. And yes, the latter will collapse, it already is, but not in a sense that it will fall down, just that everyone else is catching up.

Nice prediction there, Spark. :)

Did any of you notice one of the main reasons for the falls of the empires. The size. It is impossible to control so much land and defend it. We know what happened to Rome. They were so big the Huns walked right into Rome and destroyed them. Of course the,"I have more land I'm more powerful" view seemed to dissapear a bit. As long and you dont have to much land I think any empire can survive. Then again what makes an empire would be size.

What about tehchinese empire. their a superpower today and have been for many thousands of years.

FWB 08-15-2002 04:43 PM

I wouldn't consider the Chinese a superpower (and they certainly really haven't been one in the past). They may well emerge as one, but for now the only two really global forces are the US and the EU.

The European Union is a superpower?
