Please, take nothing written here as a personal attack/attack on the US.

But here in Australia, the "decline" of the US is something which is having an impact on our daily lives. It is a fact that the USA is withdrawing/waning in the South-Asia/West pacific sort of area, and it is being replaced by China. (I recently did an assignment at school with almost that precise topic)

But we need to remember that there are allowed to be more than one superpower in the world at a time. And it IS possible for them to peacefully coexist, and even help each other. Although American may be waning in far-flung regions of the world, it will have a very large impact for a looong time yet.

But for everything there is a season...
