Maybe, but check out EWC's holdings:
us.ishares.com

Lot's of resource companies in there, including gold and oil companies, which typically do well as an inflation hedge when the dollar is devaluing.

No question that if the US goes down, the whole world will go down and there aren't really any safe havens. However, if that happens, I wouldn't mind holding a bunch of oil and gold companies.
