The Future of American Power and Influence - History has shown that every dominant country or empire eventually loses its dominance.  The Mongols, Romans, Ottomans, and Great Britian offer examples.  In some cases the decline occurs quickly.  In others, it occurs gradually for a variety of reasons that become irreversible, and new powers emerge.

America has been the world's dominant power for decades, a role that was solidified even further with the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1989.  However, recent internal and external developments suggest that this global dominance may be beginning to erode, along with the perception of America's influence and resolve.  Is it true?  If so, what does America need to do to restore it?
