It is chilling to see that this article was published only 10 days before September 11, 2001. Considering Dr. Reed's discussion of how Rome was sufficiently weakened and self-absorbed by the 5th century, that it was open to attack by the Huns, we may well ask ourselves if we too have been weakened by power-hungry politicians to the point where our security has been compromised in the process of government promising to provide all things to all people, and the people voting in those doing the promising.

Thank you for this article. It made my day.

Thank you for posting this thought-provoking article! We ignore its warnings and comparisons at our own risk; likewise, we ignore its optimism only in an excess of partisanship.

The Republic is dead.
We are waiting for the first Emperor.
Depending on who that is, we could still have a long, happy time ahead of us as subjects.
Or not.
