it will happen.. and sooner than the roman's did.. history happens faster these days.. rome didn't rise to the greatest world power in half a century like the US did..
but at the same time.. the roman's didn't have spy satellites and the intel gathering the US does to stay in power. It's going to be hard to fall from grace when the NSA knows the other country's bids on large contracts and US interests will always be able to prevail on the battlefield.. plus the string of countries that are really no more than unrecognised 53rd, 54th, 55th states.. or glorified US military and intelligence bases (australia, new zealand)
