And in addition to the developing economic collapse at home, there is the atrocity and the bungling of the Iraqi occupation, which clearly should never have taken place. And so as to add even more to the disaster of today's U.S. political situation, the deaf and blind leaders are posed to attack yet another country with insane bombing raids. The pretext in the case of Iran is just as flimsy as it once was for the invasion of Iraq.

A ship in storm

The cracks in the U.S. leadership are widening. Important members of the military and of the civilian establishment are abandoning ship, popular disillusion with the current government is increasing daily and a growing number of Republicans are either scandal-ridden or giving up on the blind skipper and leaving the sinking ship.

It's obvious that such misrule cannot go on forever. The voice of reason must ultimately make itself heard, but the timid voices of the "opposition" Democrats can do very little to stabilize the situation or save what can be saved of the nation's standing in the world. It's pretty clear that the U.S. is doomed but there are a number of questions – When will the truth dawn on the clueless leaders? Who will suffer the brunt of the shipwreck? Only the poor and the middle class? Will the capitalists always find a way to save their ill-gotten wealth? The future will tell. However, it's becoming increasingly clear that the days of the U.S. as a superpower are over.
