We all know how Pax Romano turned out. Do you think Pax USA will end any better?

After all our president(s) want to use the same techniques that the Romans did (by the way a democracy to start with as well) except perhaps our weapons can kill more people at a time than theirs. (The Chinese had not taught them to make explosives yet we now know how to make our own more terrible and effective than theirs)

Do you suppose our present president knows these things?

Do you suppose he and his advisers can swallow their pride and admit, “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it”, and they are on the wrong side of history or will they continue to make the mistakes of the Romans,the George Bush/Cheney's, etc and perhaps kill us all.

OK, hawks can you learn and doves will you rise up and stop the fools before it is too late?
