Why US of America is so powerful and rich???

1.Location.There is no enemy nearby,powerful enough to challenge and be a constant headache. 2.Informality.USA was formed recently,compared to Britain,Europe and other nations,where there are customs and heirarchies,followed for thousands of years.For example,Mr Bill Gates is addressed as Bill,in the guestbook,maintained by his firm.Such informality is uncommon in other nations. 3.While Eourpean nations in particular,and others in general were fighting among themselves,the USA was advancing infustrially.This allowed the USA to surge ahead. 4.The vast raw materials in Australia,New Zealand,Canada and South Africa was a boon to the USA. 5.Vatican has about 25% of the world's gold,as per some rumour circulating.This and other huge wealth and riches are at the disposal of the USA. 6.US people,especially,the rich and brilliant JEWS, worked very hard. 7.Captured brilliant Scientists(like Mr von Braun) and others from Germany,contributed to the advancement of the USA,to make the nation what it is today. 8.USA is a practical nation,doing what needs to be done,in its best interests and act accordingly.For example Japan was nuked twice. 9.Good diplomacy in west Asia,helped the USA to get oil at a far,far,cheaper rate.

America is great because the economic power that rules the world uses it as its political military visible agent. The day that that economic blessing is lifted america will be just another third world country. Obviously america is not powerful because of the inteligence of its people. America is powerful because of economic and military might. Those two thing dont last forever. If america was to fall today, would it leave thigs like the Great Pyramids or Greek Philosophy. or Roman Architecture? I dont think so. America has only been a powerful world player since 1950 and its close to falling, the life length of a fart in the world timeline.
