"Rumours of U.S. decline are greatly exaggerated" (printed in the Toronto Star)

Very strange article by a US professor, published in the Toronto Star. To misquote Shakespeare, "Methinks he doth protest too much".

His capsule bio should tell you something (Professor of national security affairs at the U.S. Naval War College and a fellow of the International Security Program and the Project on Managing the Atom at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University).

I guess if you see everything in terms of weaponry, the US is still powerful (at least more powerful than anyone else). The world may be going to h*** in a handbasket (global warming, peak oil, etc., etc.), but there are no mentions of those here. The US still has enough nukes, I guess.
