I would argue that the USA is still THE leading power in the military sense, and it will be many years before anyone could challenge them on those terms.

really? i thought the war on terror has shown the opposite.
it's sad to think that the intentions of the ######s that made things like 9/11 happen, essentially reached their intention, spreading fear in the society and hurting the economy.
I hope the article is correct and that the americans are able to turn this around. I'm sick of hearing canadians gloat about how our banks withstood things, blah, blah, blah. i'm not an economist by any means, but if the american economy falters, the canadian economy (think outside of AB please) will follow right behind.
