[New Worlds Tallest Building located in Dubai]

Yea but Dubai and many other Asia cities are pulling ahead of USA in their buildings because they are willing to risk building it and our construction companies arent its sad too hear but some day we wont be the best country in the world

USA will always be on top,(sorry if I sound too-american) no one else has the natural resources we do. Our dirt across the mid to northern section of the country looks like it is soaked in oil because its so fertile. We have almost every metal there is available in the rockies. We have lots of land, coal, technology, free market society, tourism, lots of trees, very little desert area, efficient freight lines with the great lakes, mississippi river and its tributaries. Oh, and vegas!

The only way we would fall below any other country would be a collapse in the government, or something like an explosion of the volcano under yellowstone... but that would eventually affect every country in the world.
