Conquest
April 4th 2007 17:47
Conquest. Why is there no modern conquest in the world? All through history there were countries and their rulers who had the guts or at least the ambition to control territory beyond their own. But the problem is everyone is so afraid of their own god damn shadow and world opinion is such an important factor in the process of decision making that nothing ever changes anymore. Think about it, when was the last time territory was taken by force and kept, the last time civilians were killed and the world wasn’t outraged? The facts are, things have changed, nations aren’t defeated completely anymore instead, treaties are made and nations survive; where is our Alexander, our Genghis Khan, our Augustus, our Attila, our Charlemagne, our Napoleon. Where are these great leaders, strategists with great ambition, leaders able to raise their countries to power? We need these leaders in order to redraw the world map, this time including single empires spanning half the map. When did the change occur; the change that makes so many hollow alliances and nobody willing to fight to achieve dominance in the world.
