[QUOTE="area43, post: 235099, member: 4862"] To sum it up, I believe you might be incorrect on Rome's fall to a degree. Rome fell from within. Just like America is doing now. Rome sustained their power for 400 years by this method of brute force. How about us? Were 231 years old. Can we make it to the 400 mark, by the present course we are taking. I think not. I believe the whole point is that, yes Rome fell by the nomadic tribes, but the root of the problem came from within. Like cancer. A total break down in the power structure. I do not believe all that Rome did, especially with persecuting chirstians or people of other faiths was correct. My point in using the Roman example was to show how they dealt with, terrorism in their day. Now how the Roman government conducted themselves is a totally different matter. I just want to focus on their technic on handling terrorism. Technic is what I was trying to emphasize here , folks. Mack, about the kurds you must understand this. Yes, there has to be some common sense. But if these bad people are hiding with the kurds than someone is not talking to us about it. I believe someone has to know where they are hiding because we all know how nosey neighbors can be. Having said that we give them an ultimatum. Yes, they are our greatest allies over there, but are they being totally cooperartive. Good intell, does help. Also Mac, Let me ask you this. Was God brutal in destroying the earth by water? Was he wrong in doing so? Was God effective with this approach? Could God have been wrong? It seems by your way of thinking he could be. Just something to think about. Was he like the Romans? Maybe, you could think that in some degree. How about Sodam and Gomarah? God wiped them out. The book of Judges is sometimes a horrific account of Gods righteous just anger and punishment. Mac, again you and I might be on a different page. I don't know if you believe in the Bible. [/QUOTE]
