Are We Rome? Books of Our Time host, Lawrence R. Velvel of the Massachusetts School of Law interviews Cullen Murphy, editor at large for Vanity Fair magazine, about his new book Are We Rome?: The Fall of an Empire and the Fate of America. Murphy discusses how the Roman Empire and the United States are similar and how they are different. Murphy says that both societies demonstrate great arrogance. The Romans believed that they would win any war they engaged in. They believed the will of Rome was all that mattered and they saw the rest of the world as barbaric. The Romans demonstrated their arrogance when they marched into the Teutoburg Forest, expecting to dominate the Germanic tribes but instead had three legions defeated. The United States demonstrated a similar ignorance of the worldâs thoughts and beliefs.  Americans assume all nations desire their democratic way of life. Such a belief led to the debacle in Viet Nam and again in Iraq. The Romans saw themselves as the center of the world, believing, as Murphy states, âall roads lead to Rome,â and they literally did. They believed Rome was the worldâs umbilicus. The United States has developed the same belief as the center of the world with Washington D.C. as the new global navel.
