It isn't even close to that, and likely never will be. You could make a far better argument that the US has lost it's democratic roots and is becoming an oligarchy.

Drunken Master said:That's right, DQ. Remember, the VietCong had nothing to do with the loss in Vietnam. It was all of you pot-smoking unpatriotic hippies. Just like inability to adapt to the realities of asymetrical warfare will have nothing to do with intransigence in the military beauracracy or incompetence in the executive branch - it will be because of the negative vibes coming from you damn flower-snorting, granola-crunching, sandal-wearing - did I mention you were unpatriotic? - hippies.

Bad examples. The Germans didn't go anywhere.
