I really enjoyed the above article which combined a little Roman history regarding Caesar's assassination (and the political atmosphere leading up to it) with some astute commentary on modern politics as well. I figured there were just enough people here on AR15.com who might enjoy it that is was worth sharing.

Interesting read.
We are so much like Rome that I fear what will befall the world should our country fail.

History may not repeat but it is, to me, rhyming...

I'm happy that several of you found it interesting as well. I thought it was pretty informative for a book review.
