When you start to consider that the US "century" could already be nearing an end before it has properly begun (the blossoming empire contains the seeds of its own downfall) then it becomes quite interesting to speculate about what might follow...
In the right conditions, the collapse of the Bush/Rove machine could also bring down the whole corrupt two-party/lobbyists/vested interests/industrial-military system, awakening a political consciousness in people... who knows where it could go from there?
It's an interesting take for me since my great-grandfather fought in the Boer War.
