Rome And United States: Somethings Never Change

On October 23, 415 A.D. Valentinian III was proclaimed Caesar. He became emperor at the age of six years.The rest is history. Soon Rome would be sacked multiple times by many of the same peoples who the Romans had sacked in the prior 1000 years.George W Bush became President of the United States in 2001. He was fifty-five years of age.In 2001 he declared " War on Terror". He invaded Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003 because of 9/11 which was carried out largely by Saudi nationals who happened to be hiding in Afghanistan. Iraq was a war of choice with no compelling reasons. And so? Some leaders are truly six years of age and act their age. But some leaders are fifty-five years of age but behave as though they were six years of age.
