Comparing the fall of Rome to an modern nation state is pointless.

That's preposterous.

Casloy is absolutely spot on. History does NOT repeat. For example, Rome never abolished Slavery, we did. Rome did not have virtually instantaneous communications, we do. Rome did not know much about any of the societies beyond the Med and Europe. We do. To compare the two societies is hysterically stupid. There are "no lessons of history" ok? That is just babble from those who want to use history to rationalize their stupid political opinions.
