In today's LTE Donald Plummer seems to have a defeatist attitude about great empires doomed to failure. A quick look at those he listed I found a common thread: corruption, weak leadership, nationalistic arrogance, failure to help the poor which in some cases led to civil war. It all sounds too familiar, but we do not have to accept these things as our death knell. We will not be defeated. History does not have to repeat itself.
