The tragedy of 9/11 will prove to be a watershed in our history. The entire civilized world was sympathetic and willing to help the anti-terror effort after 9/11. As tragic as 9/11 was, it also presented great opportunities for America to stand tall as world leader.

Gore Vidal could not be more correct, yet we have no solution to the "decline and fall of the Roman Empire." Is this an historical inevitability? Is it the nature of things? I tried to alter course of decline by challenging the most corrupt among us and received, in return: "we don't care." "The 'games' are more important."<BR/><BR/>Angel, what is the solution?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
