100 million in it's wake.

We are acting like any other empire

Oh and the proportions in population were similar Rome was DANG efficient, for example, but we did not reach 1 billion until the beginning of LAST century.

We are doing what every other empire does. We are not exceptional... and in that we are also doing what any other empire does.

Oh and Spain, conservative figures are close to 10 million dead in the New World in the first fifty years of empire, in North America alone.

We are doing what every other empire does, and will not stop until we no longer are an Empire. You think the Chinese will behave better? I will not hold my breath. And they will speak about how exceptional they are as well.

Ah we will live the Chinese Curse. The Empire is DEAD... China is to superscede us as the largest economy by 2016... per IMF. GO CHINA! No Really, the are the NEXT EMPIRE. We are a has been. And then, and only then, might this provincial people wake up.
