If the American Empire Falls, Will the Republic Rise?

Victor Davis Hanson, eminent classicist, provides this warning to Americans in the lead of his most recent article at Epoch Times, updated May 16:

Americans are now entering uncharted, revolutionary territory.  They may witness things over the next five months that once would have seemed unimaginable.

It may prove in this momentous decade that the American Empire falls.  But take heart, because the fall of the empire — aren't all empires finally a bundle of conceits destined to collapse? — may lead to the revival of the American Republic.

The visions of empire and republic are as starkly different as George Washington and the founders were from Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.  Much of what constitutes the "American Empire" is a product of progressive doctrine.  It was about domestic imperialism perhaps far more than American global dominance.  Restoring the republic should be welcomed by citizens dedicated to our nation's founding principles.
