We can hope.
At the Battle of Zama the Roman cavalry quickly routed the Carthaginian cavalry and then attacked the rear of their infantry.
The result was the slaughter of Hannibal's army.
Although Hannibal escaped, 20,000 Carthaginians died and 15,000 became prisoners.
The Romans suffered minimal losses numbering around 1,500.
With the defeat of Hannibal's army, Carthage was forced to sue for peace and to accept Scipio's terms.
Carthage handed over all warships and elephants, agreed not to make war without permission of Rome, and agreed to pay Rome 10,000 talents over the next 50 years.
Carthage was never again a major threat to Rome. The islamic nations must go the way of Troy, Carthage, and Azteca.
We will be victorious.
Carthage was never again a major threat to Rome. Well Caesar was awesome -- surrounded 30-1 (I think near Scotland) his army built a series of fortress walls leading up to the castle he'd just conquered. By the end of the battle he'd slaughtered the entire enemy army with hardly no losses on his on side. I think the final assualt ended up in burning to death over 20,000.
Not bad when you are the one surrounded..
Do you actually think these enemies of ours are going to stand up together and fight us face-to-face?
Hah! They know they can't fight us that way. That is the whole reason they resort to terrorism to fight us.
