I don't think we have the future we used to have. Our best days may be behind us (mid 40s to the 80s or at the latest 9/11). We have our problems and are despised in about every part of the world. But I wouldn't trade our future for any other country's. IMO we are the only existing superpower, which is why I think we should intervene in a limited way when a despot commits genocide on his own people.
