True, however, trade can take place without the U.S. at the center of activities, just as the U.K. is no longer dominant after many years in a similar role.

This is my point, this kingpin roll is destroying many of the nations fundamentals. The FRN is currently under pressure from devaluation (inflation), a number of nations are already taking steps to replace the FRN as a basis of exchange. This may force the U.S. to adopt a new currency, such as the Amero.

Meltdown of U.S. Dollar Underway as China Dumps the Currency
http://www.naturalnews.com/023005.html
Comments by China that it intends to move away from its reliance on the dollar triggered a sharp drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and heightened worldwide fears about the U.S. currency's stability. Chinese Central Bank Vice Director Xiu Jian said that his country is planning to shift much of its $1.4 trillion national currency reserve from dollars to more stable currencies, such as the euro or Canadian dollar. After these comments, the dollar fell to record lows relative to other currencies -- the lowest ever against the euro, the lowest in a generation against the British pound, and the lowest in 57 years against the Canadian dollar.

Yes, yet, increasingly this is just a matter of a good Public Relations campaign, and it may be out-sourced. In fact, most U.S. corporations are already out-sourced. The U.S. has already turned nations such as China into industrial powerhouses, often with poor trade policy. In this way, the PTB has placed resources in many areas.
All I am saying, is that the U.S. is a tool to the PTB. Just as a knife may dull if you do a lot of cutting. You can take time to sharpen the knife, or you may simply pick up a saw to continue the job.
