Re: Is America the new Rome?
I don't think that it is too far fetched. Napoleon and Hitler are both compared due to a certain history altering decision that they both foolishly made. America is the first nation since Rome to have monolithic power. While this won't last forever, I certainly think comparissons are valid.Originally Posted by Amon_Zeth
"Sit now there, and look out upon the lands where evil and despair shall come to those whom thou lovest. Thou hast dared to mock me, and to question the power of Melkor, master of the fates of Arda. Therefore with my eyes thou shalt see, and with my ears thou shalt hear; and never shall thou move from this place until all is fulfilled unto its bitter end". -Tolkien
