bbm,

You're a clever fella. Have you read Pat Buchanan's latest? "The Death of the West" has some interesting things to say.

Re: "The structure is so rotten that any young and enthusiastic foe can push it over." And who might that be?

Demographics is destiny:

prb.org

This chart says it all, if you know how to read it.

Take your pick of LDCs and the Islamic world. Iran, Iraq, Indonesia for example all have median populations ages drastically lower than OECD nations. Add all the youth of Islamic nations in total, compare it to our citizens ages 0-15, and you do see that we are going to be overrun. Add to that Hubbert's Peak considerations pup.princeton.edu , our insane national energy policies and by 2010, we are in reaaallly deep and sticky doodoo.

All the best, Ray
