Answer 1

The Roman Empire failed because it was rampant with corruption, just like the current administration with no bid contracts to companies that were headed by the vice president, and congressman in the pockets of lobbyists like Abramhoff.

They required their people to buy certain commodities only from those that they held allegiances with, much like our dependence on foreign oil is an allegiance with the Arabs.

They also taxed their people to finance wars, simply so they could go to war!

We need a clean approach to our democracy, we need leadership that is not held by the special interests, we need to get out from under this misconstrued alliances, we need to get out of the war....

We need OBAMA 08

Answer 2

On the other hand, the Roman empire govt was so large, bloated and costly, it could no longer govern itself or its people...and we all know what happened to them.
