I have a growing sense that we are going to look back on this time and realize that this was a far, far bigger turning point in our history than 9/11 ever was. September, 2008 could well be seen as the end of our post-World War II dominance of the world--politically and economically. Our military dominance will slowly unravel over the coming years as we realize that we're no longer the world's top dog. Our invisible, slow national decline has now become very visible.
What we will become is yet to be seen (to paraphrase St. Paul).
