Cum sa mai deslusesti un sens in hatisul castronului cu spaghetti care a devenit lumea? Chris Hedges, un ziarist american cu o constiinta in ton cu timpul, ofera cateva idei despre rezonanta prezentului cu trecutul. Articolul lui sfarseste cu o citatie dintr-un istoric al imperiului roman: Edward Gibbon observed about the Roman Empire’s own lust for endless war: ” ... [T]he decline of Rome was the natural and inevitable effect of immoderate greatness. Prosperity ripened the principle of decay; the cause of the destruction multiplied with the extent of conquest; and, as soon as time or accident had removed the artificial supports, the stupendous fabric yielded to the pressure of its own weight. The story of the ruin is simple and obvious: and instead of inquiring why the Roman Empire was destroyed we should rather be surprised that it had subsisted for so long.”
