If, as you guess, most countries are toppled from within then you would expect to find the people remaining in those places are of the same ancestory as they were in the past. This is true in some areas like Central Africa, but vastly untrue in many others. The mongols push out the central asians who in turn push out the greeks who push out the visgoths who push out the goths and so forth. The process is even more pronounced in the western hemisphere and China. TP

Every great empire bears the seeds of its own destruction. Ours, currently, is the Marxist/Leninist anti-American left, which came to dominate and corrupt our academic institutions and, by default, our media. They seized one of our two major political parties in 1970, and have been deteriorating our public education system for decades. I don't see the destruction of America this time, though. America is still to strong, and socialism has been universally debunked for a long time now. While some OTHER equally-whacko anti-humanity ideology will dominate the movement that eventually brings America down-that destruction may still be centuries away. Instead, we are experiencing the early stages of a general American renaissance. It will sweep away the intellectually-corrupt and decadent Marxist/Leninists, but-like all such phenomena-all the effects cannot yet be predicted. We have, today, a nation that JUST WANTS TO GET RID of the Clintonesque decadence, and hypocritical propaganda of such as John Kerry and the other Dem presidential dwarves. As the conservative agenda begins its period of dominance after the 2004 election, another opposition (hopefully, this time, a LOYAL one) will emerge, and the public debate that is normal for any free republic will go forward. Thus pointing out the true left wing morons, and their useful idiots on this thread, is just a casual past time. The real center of interest is what kind of opposing ideas will come to replace the cockroaches as they get flushed down the sewer of history, as well as what additional effects, besides the final fall of the left, our renaissance will have. It's not necessarily all good. (For instance, the racism/sexism pendulum has swung about as far as it can swing against racism, and in favor of universal tolerance of even the most repulsive sexual perversions [as well as abortion]. We have replaced Orville Faubus with Larry Flynt, but what have we gained by it? What direction will the Zeitgeist take when that eternal pendulum starts to swing back?) Might even be a good subject for its own thread...
