Fine that you started speaking in terms of Civilizations, but not countries. It is necessary to recognize that besides so called Western Civilization there are the other, more ancient, which still exist. And between them there was and is a permanent struggle or coexistence, and in a course of struggle some Civilizations sometimes even disappeared from the Earth. As to Western Civilization this is the worth thing to think over what were the sources of its growth, by which juices it was fed, and what are the reasons of its present downswing.
