The attacks on the United States on September 11 2002 was the first major terrorist attack of its kind in history. That attack caused the US to step up our homeland security, enable communication between different departments such as the FBI and the CIA, and set in course the preventive pursuit to end terrorism. The pursuit that followed the terrorist attacks led to the war with Iraq. All of these events sparked controversy in many Americans and people around the world that is why I am sure people will read about this in the future.
"Today the United States of America (USA), remains the planet's only true super power, both in economic and military terms. As the world's largest economy, it's a significant leader in the fields of agriculture, education, energy, health care, high-tech, service industries, space exploration, and manufacturing of all descriptions". (http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/namerica/us.htm ).
Many countries around the world beliefs differ greatly from the Americans. Although the US is considered a super power in many countries we are loosing our sparkle. Even in Britain (one of our tightest allies) there public opinion poll reflects that fifty percent of the people believe the American influence is bad. This type of influence is present in many countries around the world such as Germany at 67%, Russia at 68% and France at 71% largely due to their position on the war in Iraq (http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,856456,00.htm ). Countries like these make me question whether the fact we can sustain a position as a super power. China in my opinion is the only country that threatens to replace the US as the primary super power. China is a communist country that also has a potent military, large population, and turned its market share to global aspects. Because of these factors China has grown tremendously in the nineteen nineties however even with the steps they have taken to become a super power they would haft to go through vast political, social, and economic reform to compete with the United States.
