All empires come to an end, and the American one is no exception.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
All great empires die from within.
You know, when I was a girl, the idea that the British Empire could ever end was absolutely inconceivable. And it just disappeared, like all the other empires.
Every empire eventually falls.
It is a cliche these days to observe that the United States now possesses a global empire - different from Britain's and Rome's but an empire nonetheless.
When I was a girl, the idea that the British Empire could ever end was absolutely inconceivable. And it just disappeared, like all the other empires. You know, when people talk about the British Empire, they always forget that all the European countries had empires.
As we all know from the Roman empire, big empires go down if the borders are not well-protected.
Empires inevitably fall, and when they do, history judges them for the legacies they leave behind.
Look to the past and remember no empire rises that sooner or later won't fall.
The American empire will not disappear... because America does not have an empire.
America is an empire. I hope you know that now. All empires, by definition, are bumbling, shambolic, bullying, bureaucratic affairs, as certain of the rightness of their cause in infancy, as they are corrupted by power in their dotage.
