Sure, IMHO countries like Iran and North Korea would love to break the US but lack the ability to project power in any serious way and can be contained diplomatically. The threat of radical Islam is enhanced by our lack of openness and our willingness to compromise values when dealing with Middle-Eastern regimes. China could be a real economic threat but those pirates have lashed their ship to ours so we'll go down together.
