An excellent point- which essay does he mention this in? I often find myself making comparisons between Great Britain at the height of the British Empire and The U.S. today. No great country or empire stays great forever. We saw it in the Greek Empire and the Roman Empire and more recently the British Empire. Now it seems may be the United State's turn to fall.
