"we have the ability to create a great pax-americana if we destroyed our enemies"

remember when rome had their pax romana?

"In general, the Augustan system worked fairly well, in fact, it lasted more than 200 years. It provided a material and political base of cultural achievement that rivaled the Greeks under Pericles. This is the age of the Pax Romana, the Roman Peace.'

worked great until emperor Augustus died, then began the slow decline of the greatest empire the world has known. ed:
