America now is Germany then: Analogies

The German people of the late 1930s imagined themselves to be brave.

Wow this is a real orginal analogy. First off its flawed in about a million ways. The first being the economic situation of the two countries being compared. A far better compairison would be the US and the Roman empire, both Republics and economically powerful with the best military in the world. Of course the Roman Empire fell, partialy because its power stretched far beyond its acutal control.
