#1 Actually, it's the world that has been the 'sick man' consuming the opportunity America gave it by allowing its Treasury to be sucked dry in military welfare, bank and foreign exchange bailouts, the dumping of millions of unemployed and unwanted underclasses, and largely the single player in 'free trade' at its own expense in jobs and industry. Now that they've killed the goose that laid the golden egg, they'll bemoan the consequences.

#2 Not to worry P2K, our replacement, the Chinese Communists, are all set to step in and do the heavy lifting. Of course all that heavy lifting will be plunder back to Peking (always thought pandering to them to say Beijing seemed too PC).
The immense magnanimous legacy of the US in the 20th century will be viewed as a Golden Age by historians, as we return to the more commonplace human condition of war, poverty, and disease.
Time to become a regional power, close the borders, reindustrialize, buy American, tariff other nations goods, develop the untapped wealth within our borders, kick the freeloading illegals out, stop spending money of silly things and react with massive overkill to any aggression. Oh and kick the f**king U.N. out of the country. It will take a generation or two, but if we are true to our founding principles, it will work out. It will take a year or less of Chinese/Russian leadership and the world will be begging us to come back. All we should say is, No Free Lunch, Cash in Advance, and don't plan to stay long!

#3 Damn it's hard how to figure out the Japs ever over ran China a few years back. I'll go edit the Wiki.

#4 Read up on history. That is when you're not opening up the school for the free-breakfast crowd.
