It might be fun to compare the US to the Roman empire. At the end of the day, there is really no comparison. Two completely different entities.

The Romans occupied far more territory than the US currently does. At the same time, their soldiers were getting from A to B at a maximum of about 4 miles per hour.

At the time, Guerilla warfare was almost unheard of and of course, there was no UN.

The problems and challenges facing the US are VASTLY different than those facing Rome. It might be fun to draw parallels, but there really aren't any.

I don't think the Canadians are going to come south and sack Washington D.C. anytime soon.

Damned barbarians.
