I do see a link between the fall of Rome and the fall of the US, Evaggelos Vallianatos.

To begin withm regardless of how aggresive, expansionist and bloodthirsty the Romans certainly were, they were still a cut above almost everybody else in the rest of the world. Your article smacks off the old comedy routine in "the Life of Brian" movie, "what have the Romans ever done for us?"

They built paved roads, schools, aquaducts, bridges and sewerage systems (Gee, this place sure used to stink before the Romans came") law and order, and pax Romanus. After Rome fell, Europe was besieged and finally destroyed by barbarians from the North, South, and East. 300 years elapsed before the Europeans even began to build stone buildings again, and they were very crude affairs compared to the excellence of Roman engineering.

Politically and economically, the religious fuedalism which replaced the authority of the Roman senate, or even the Roman emperor, was inferior in every way when it came to creating a society which could advance socially and scientifically.

I know that you would love the US to fall just like the Romans did, Evagellos, but be careful, like the Rome haters of the Roman days, you might just get what you wished for

I’m sorry to say that a very key piece of information in this article by Evaggelos Valilanatos is utterly and horribly INCORRECT! In fact, it is such a bad piece of information, it basically ruins this article.

Get the facts correct. He states that Obama bailed out Wall Street when nothing could be further from the truth. The Wall Street bail is 100% the treasonous work of the bu$Hitler and no one else can be blamed for this. It was one of the most evil acts against this once great nation ever. So get it correct! The bu$Hitler bailed out the banks illegally!
