Anyone here read Asimov? Foundation series...hello?
This is clearly a seldon crisis

Or mabye Bin Laden is the mule.

More seriously history is littered of giants being beaten down by far smaller enemies due to thier internal weaknesses being ignored for so long. Corperate collapses are like this, it hits critcal mass where mismanagement and corruption swallow the entity combined with outside forces. The same can happen to empires. America is an empire.
Personally i expect american society to combust under the weight of the next generation of SSSCA's and DMCAs. Something has gotta snap sooner or later. Either that or your gonna have 250million happy little proles.

Argh i'm becoming a troll.
