Remember the Fourth Punic War.

There wasn't a Fourth Punic War. Because after the third one, there wasn't anything left.

[Peter J. Huss]

Remember the Fourth Punic War. There wasn't a Fourth Punic War. Because after the third one, there wasn't anything left. The Third Punic War: The Romans, deeply suspicious of a reviving Carthage, demanded that the Carthaginians abandon their city and move inland into North Africa. The Carthaginians, who were a commercial people that depended on sea trade, refused. The Roman Senate declared war, and Rome attacked the city itself. After a seige, the Romans stormed the town and the army went from house to house slaughtering the inhabitants in what is perhaps the greatest systematic execution of non-combatants before World War II. Carthaginians who weren't killed were sold into slavery. The harbor and the city was demolished, and all the surrounding countryside was sown with salt in order to render it uninhabitable.

Exactly.

The Iraqis of Fallujah need to ponder that.
