there are many parallels between the ancient roman empire and modern america. our foreign policy is hated, our military power is vast, we have enemies who will stop at nothing to see us fall and we are in many ways the entertainment and economic capital of the world. what scares me is, that one of the primary reasons for the fall of rome was economic trouble and rapid inflation...see the resemblance? let me know your thoughts.
Of course the Roman Empire is not the only empire the world has known. Empires reach their peak then decline. Great Brittan, France, and Portugal all had vast empires at one time. I welcome the assent of China and the European Union because being the world's sole superpower is a pretty lonely position to be in.
dream on, America will never reach the brilliance of the Roman Empire. The US has been a flash in the pan, dead before it's started. That's what you get for being a bloated nation of imbeciles.
I definitely agree with you, and see the similarities. As to your question "Why current day America is like the Roman Empire". I think the biggest factor is greed.
''That's what you get for being a bloated nation of imbeciles.''
I would add ''bigoted,'' ''shortsighted,'' ''reactionary,'' and ''intolerant'' to that list.
and even with all that you still lost the vietnam war...
america is nothing like the roman empire
Its simple: Our presidents never passed economics in school! =P
