The USA isn't a civilization, it's an empire, a country and perhaps a hegemony.
The civilization or culture zone "we" belong to is the western one, which I can't see going down anytime soon. People are still wanting to be more like the westerners in other cultures. Furthermore I don't believe civilizations can really die out anymore as we go towards a more global perspective.
If you really meant the USA as a country and it's power, then yes, I agree that it can't be kept at this level with the Asian countries growing economically like they do while your debt to them rises evermore.
As I live in Europe I would like to see the EU grow to become a more significant political power than it is today. :P
