But, the USA isn't anywhere NEAR finished.
From the article:
As a historian, I find this trend fascinating. After all, since humans climbed out of the trees and began surveying the lion-infested Savannah, none have ever lived in a period more prosperous, secure and stable than Americans do today. The U.S. is not only the wealthiest and most powerful country on earth now, but in all of history. There's never been a better time and place to be alive than America in the 21st century.
So why all the decline theorists?
Here's my theory: Prosperity and security are boring. Nobody wants to read about them. The same phenomenon occurred in ancient Rome, the last state to acquire such a firm hegemony. By the second century B.C., Roman citizens were affluent and their empire no longer had any serious rivals. With the dangers past and the money rolling in, they developed a taste for jeremiads. If you had a stylus, ink and scroll you could hardly go broke telling the Romans their empire, culture and way of life were yesterday's news.
Jeremiah Wright is Wrong Ron.
Can you expect God to keep blessing America, not matter what? Will a time come when God chooses to curse America? That seems to be a question that American’s do not want to think about.
The day America is finished the world is a worse place. We have a destiny to fulfill.
Daniel 11:29-30
"At the appointed time he will invade the South again, but this time the outcome will be different from what it was before. 30 Ships of the western coastlands will oppose him, and he will lose heart. Then he will turn back and vent his fury against the holy covenant. He will return and show favor to those who forsake the holy covenant.
We are to be in the dis-heartening business. So, if you are disheartened about what America is doing in the world, then.......
Why are you so downhearted?? 2 Corinthians 4

Your are right that America is not finsihed. It has a lot more damage to do in this world.
Daniel 11:29-30 is very apt, but your translation is midleading. Kittim means island, not America.
America will invade the Middle East again several times before it is finished. It will even get fed up with its client and invade Israel. That will be a terrible time for the world. It will mean the end of the militaristic government that currently controls Israel. It will also be disaster for America. See Whats Going On.
But do not be discouraged. When these empires and nations die, the Holy Spirit will be freed to go to work and the Kingdom of God will begin to become a reality. That is a genuine hope.
Hope in a nation will always disappoint. Those who are looking for the Kingdom of God, will not be disappointed.
