I don't agree with that - what ever happened to China? They are definately (if not already, becoming) a superpower. Taking the total size of the armed forces as a measure of its power (fairly generally), the US has 1.4 million military personnel (2001), whereas China has 2.2 million. That's nearly twice the size.
...
Of course, the size of the armed forces does not define a superpower, but America is in no way the only superpower, or at least, barely - with a few more on the horizon.

IF the NWO exists, they would have a lot more than just the President to look after.

(EDIT: forgot reference for those numbers: UN Human Development Report 2003 - Human Development Indicators appendix)

A superpower is not defined by the size of its military (as you said yourself), but by its capabilities...

Can China drop a cruise missle down a smoke-stack???
Could India have overthrown an army twice their size in two weeks (the first Gulf War)???
Being a Superpower is defined not only by having a large military, but a capable one as well, and one which can be sustained.
Russia has rusting subs parked in their harbors. China does not have modern equipment, nor does India.
If a cold war situation existed between the US and China, the Chinese would quickly find out that their economic system cannot sustain a military build-up.
It's one thing to put a gun and a uniform in a soldier's hand. It's another thing to continue to feed them. It's even more of a thing to equip them so that they could actually win.

The US had about half the number of troops as Saddam Hussein in the first Gulf War, but it was over in weeks. Soldiers from Hussein's regime surrendered in droves. Sure there were other nations present, but the US took the lead and provided most of the thrust in the counter-attack.
