There may be reason to congratulate President Trump — and the United States Air Force — for defeating the heirs of Darius and Xerxes, though keep in mind the Greeks did it first and look what happened to them. Many triumphs and great accomplishments, and many tragedies. Check out Herodotus before being too celebratory about Marathon and Salamis.
Nations and civilizations must learn to rise and fall and rise again. Let us hope this will be the case with the British Empire, or at least Great Brita
