The Roman Empire was not a liberal one. Like any other empirical power, it was built on oppression. Admitted, the Romans left their subjects with roads, clean water and drainage systems, domestic heating etc., but this was offset by the persecution of anyone who refused to worship the emperor, and not to mention routine slavery. <br /> <br />Rome was destroyed from within, by internal politics and wrangling. Back-biting and whispering between people with their own interests at heart. Ultimately, the empire was relinquished as a secondary importance. <br /> <br />You do raise a valid point though, one that is commonplace amongst most Western nations; ie. Should we not look after ourselves first and foremost, rather than increasingly distributing our wealth to 'economic migrants'? Somewhere back in the politically correct '90's I think we got so worried about appeasing anyone from a minority that we started to forget about the silent majority. <br /> <br />By the way, I'm no racist or nothin', I just think we should be looking after ourselves first and foremost, the way the Romans would of done.
