Perhaps they're not the best role model to follow<

 Have you read the American news lately? If I 
were from another country I'd tend to agree with 
the comparison [Not role model].

>They collapsed in 
fiery fury. I love that attitude..."It didn't 
work once....SO LET'S DO IT AGAIN! WHOOO!".<

The Roman empire lasted for 2000 years in one 
form or another (Internal changes). How long have 
we? a little over 200 yrs? How many more before 
we're wiped out, 20 maybe?...So I'd have to vote 
that they did have a way to make it work, even if 
it was by the sword {gunship}. 

 The point I make is; we were ATTACKED! Maybe 
they had their reasons (Hate America) but we have 
ours and your either with us or against us. That 
may be a simplistic, barbaric way of looking at 
it but thats the way it is.
