The out-of-control federal deficit; the endless, costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; the Bush-Cheney administration’s record of crime, corruption and in-your-face violations of the U.S. Constitution, wrapped in its condoning of torture and the Abu Ghraib prison scandal; its suppression of free speech, totalitarian spying on Americans’ phone calls, e-mail and Internet usage, stretched-to-the-breaking-point military and again and again and again, that disturbing, dangerous, ballooning national debt… The fact that Washington is broke and is depending in large part on the communist government of China to routinely help bail it out as it seeks billions of dollars a day in aid just to keep the lights on… In this presidential-election year, all of these factors help explain how and why the United States has fallen so quickly and so far from its erstwhile position of strength and prestige in the world.
