There seems to be a rule:- 
Best epitomized by Mahatma Gandhi. He was walking along with a friend in India, during the time of the British Raj, and a couple swaggering British officers came towards them, and forced he and his friend to step out of their way into the gutter. Gandhi made a comment along these lines; \\\"do these men realize all empires without exception have fallen\\\". 
Maybe Empire USA will last forever. 
What a shock for the deluded citizens of the US, when she falls. Is this jealousy? How can that be? We are all part of the empire, she falls we all fall. 
The problem is, you get rid of one lousy bunch only to get another. ...the British, the US... I suppose I am being cynical.
