Wishful thinking?

The US disintegrating by 2010?
Not likely...in that time frame.
US self-destruction has been a Russian and Soviet theme for decades.
The Russians should know...having watched their own Union disintegrate.
But what does "disintegrate" mean? Dis-integrate. Break into pieces.
Is that so really unlikely?
It is if you don't know history.
Strangely missing from the hysteria over a Russian academic's prediction is the existence of a well reasoned study of the same topic by an American academic and venture capitalist Juan Enriquez.
You can read his book "The Untied States of America" ("un-tied", get it?)
Enriquez has a 50 year time frame and he's not predicting (much less hoping for) dis-integration of the US into smaller countries.
But he points out that not only is it possible, there's evidence the US is on this seemingly unlikely trajectory.
Reality check:
ALL states disintegrate over time. Anyone who doesn't know this hasn't thought about the last 200 years of history. In fact, the US came pretty darn close to dis-integrating less than 150 years ago.
But US dis-integration by the end of 2010? That's a heck of a projection.
