The United States will become increasingly vulnerable to hostile attack on our
homeland, possibly by weapons of mass destruction, from which our military
might not entirely protect us.

Rapid advances in information and biotechnologies — though an American
strength — will create new vulnerabilities for U.S. security as they proliferate
around the world and can be used against us.

Energy sources and production, including the United States’ continued
dependence on fossil fuels, will continue to be of major strategic significance.

“All borders will be more porous,” according to the report. “Some will bend
and some will break.”

The sovereignty of states will endure, in spite of the “global economy” and
ongoing efforts to build transnational institutions.

“Foreign crises will be replete with atrocities and the deliberate terrorizing of
civilian populations.”

Space will become militarized and by a larger number of nations.

I disagree that we are more civilized ....or less. You state it as though it were so. Our defense dept is the "worlds" defense dept and there is plenty of evidence of that. Terrorist threats tax our ingenuity and resources. Everyone hates us to some extent, just natural, but who are we bullying besides Iraq and of course, what's wrong with a little of that. Even the other Arabs were OK with that at one time, but now they've lost their will.
