The only true comparison to make is not the United States with any other country but the United States with itself.
[Re: First Up: "Americas Biggest Enemy," March 2011] Americas biggest enemy is not fear itself but is rather the constricted beliefs it is operating under. This article sets up an erroneous dialectic of comparing the United States with China as a manner of answering whether the Unites States is in decline.
The only true comparison to make is not the United States with any other country but the United States with itself. On that basis, there is indeed much evidence that the United States is in decline and will face a crisis in the future even more grave than the present one.
