Answer 2

barack hussein obama

Answer 3

Based on history, dischord from within will be our downfall.

Answer 4

Me and my fascist regime.  

Answer 5

The over taxation by the federal government. Already we are taxing the upper class 50% of their annual income. The government does this to cover its hemorrhaging spending. The federal government has abolished state self rule and will only become worse in the impending "national healthcare" era. We have given up liberty to be replaced with bottle feeding from our government. We are destroying ourselves from within, worse than any external power could ever hope to achieve  

Answer 6

Internal government squabbling.

Answer 7

most likely a bacteria or virus

Answer 8

Continuing to ignore the Constitution, allowing limitless government power -- that will do it. It's nearly done, already.

Government prohibits the formation of wealth, so it eradicates incentive.

Government takes away wealth, so it eliminates investment.

Government prints worthless money, so it destroys saved wealth, converting it for its own use.

Government sees no limits on itself, so encourages democracy (small "D"), which is nothing more than one mob trying to get the upper hand on every other mob.

Without limits on government (they're in the Constitution, you know -- go read it; don't just reply!), there is nothing the people will be able to do. We're already not the "richest nation the world has ever seen," we're actually the "most indebted nation the world has ever seen." You don't GET "rich" living on credit; you only ACT rich -- and then it collapses.

Bye-bye.

Answer 9

i dont think terrorist can completely kill of america perhaps economic downfall or another outbreak of some sort of a small pox or something

Answer 10

Degenerate scum electing communists into office that promise the world and expect to steal from me in order to provide it while they sit on their fat asses eating ho-hos.

Answer 11

obama and the liberals who support his socialist tendencies

Answer 12

Democrats and their marxist communist attitude. They take credit for what republicans do, then dems put all thier bad stuff on republicans and say republicans did it like what bad kids do to good kids in middle school.

THIS COUNTRY CAN NOT SURVIVE ANOTHER DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT!

Answer 13

mccain... and that alaskan

Answer 14

No more terrorist attacks for you guys. But yeah, America has the possibility to start an all out war, but its unlikely. Vote Obama, because America needs change, and the opportunity has come and trust me, it wont happen for a long time after that. I think America is a good country which is corrupted. There's still a lot of racism. Look at people called "The Minute Men". They're idiots, that use freedom of speech as a shield for racism. So, its a compilation of things that make America what it is today. But change is coming soon, and i think America would be a wicked country if they withdraw from Iraq, and Obama is going to make sure that happens, when Mccain isnt.

Answer 15

The way it looks, I'm worried about socialists.

Answer 16

debt

Answer 17

From an outsiders perspective, I'd say the US Administration and corporate hierarchy will cause its downfall, because any terrorist attacks on the US are a direct result of US foreign policy and war-driven economy.

Natural disaster would be unlikely to wipe and entire country the size of the US out... if it did it would probably wipe out other countries as well.

Cultural diversity - many countries have this and on the whole people seem to get along... a bigger issue is that the US government seems to care very little about the welfare of its own people.  

Answer 18

Nothing that we know of.  That won't happen in our life time but being that Obama supports some terrorists, he might bring it closer than it ever has been BUT he's losing this election so he's not going to get the chance.

McCain IS our new president.

Answer 19

Total arrogance say I

Answer 20

High Taxes coupled with social engineering.  

Answer 21

natural disasters

Answer 22

Obama.

Answer 23

I say WE will cause the downfall.    We will vote for someone who will upset and insult and anger the other countries.  In turn they will attack us and we will attack back. This will cause yet another world war and most likely someone will be dumb enough to use a weapon that will wipe out all of the earth's living things. Cockroaches included.

Answer 24

Deficit spending.  The government will go broke, be foreclosed upon, which will lead to chaos and anarchy.

Answer 25

It's demise will come from within like all other fallen empires.

Answer 26

If the people divide will be the likely cause.

Answer 27

Democrats that pander to every looney interest group they can find.

Answer 28

If we don't do something about the planet, FOR the planet....Mother Nature will take of the problem itself.

Answer 29

carbon monoxide from automobile exhaust.  More people= more cars.  More cars mean more traffic jams.  That stuff is deadly.  

Answer 30

Rome lasted for about a thousand years; the U.S.S.R. for just about 70. There is no guarantee the U.S.A. will last forever, or at least remain a prominent nation in world politics. I think that if OPEC intentionally raises the price of a barrel of oil, in winter, and China demands  the principle on all the loans it has made to the nation, the U.S. will fall. But after that, who knows?

Answer 31

The divisiveness of it's people.  

A country divided cannot stand.  

(Or cannot stand for long anyway).
