EMPIRE: The POWERFUL rule, the POWERLESS obey...or else!
"...Among Practical People, the standard of justice depends on the 'equality of power to compel', and that, in fact, the Strong do what they have the power to do, and the Weak... accept what they have to accept" (Thucydides, the Peloponnesian War', Book V, 'The Melian Dialogue'.
I'm drawing from a lecture given by Dr. Victor Davis Hanson: "Imperialism: Lessons From History", June 30, 2003;
Readings also from: Thucydides, 'The Peloponnesian War (5thc BC),, Sections 'Pericles' Funeral Oration' (Book II), and the 'Melian Dialogues' (Book V);
Tacitus: 'The Annals' and 'Agricola'.
