Quote:
At last we know how the empire Germanicum will die. Guido Westerwelle, FDP chairman, Foreign Minister and now apparently also part-time historian, had a horrific vision of the end of German greatness. He said in a commentary for the newspaper "Die Welt" with: "If you promise the people of effortless wealth, invites to late Roman decadence."

Too bad that the late Roman decadence was the ruling and propertied class, and only restrained the people was diverted to avoid an otherwise impending revolution. But I doubt that Westerwelle is aware that the systematic extension of his thought would lead to that millions of unemployed, "low wages" and, in general by society, political or economic subscribed to storm the parliament would call.
Fortunately recognizes also the mirror-author Thorsten Dörting:
only one they are pretty sure that if there was something really rotten in Rome, then the intellectually corrupt and luxury-seeking elite. So the one percent of the population, all the riches of Rome divided it among themselves - but certainly not the impoverished underclass.
Well, only Westerwelle can shoot themselves in the foot so beautiful ...
