This is clearly the veiwpoint of a person with a deep understanding of 
history and humanity.  

I am particularly impressed with the pharse PAX AMERICANA.  Its source is 
of course 'Pax Romana' meaning literally 'The Peace of Rome'.  Pax Romana 
described 'the peace which will never end' brought about by the power and 
sanity of the ancient Roman Empire. 

Hmmm....whatever happened to the Roman Empire anyway?  I haven't heard much 
about it recently.
