i cant answer ur specific question, but i can tell you this.....
The R.E started off slowly, like us, then it grew stronger, took countries, was in control, but it could not handle everything, so they collapsed, just like we are going to in about 50 years, except they reigned longer than our empire today

I don't think the US is any more doomed than any other country on the planet. The US is currently a very powerful nation, but it doesn't mean we'll end up like Rome. A lot of people like to use that analogy, but it's unrealistic, because times have change. Humans are generally more civilized than they were thousands of years ago, there are safety nets in place to protect countries, and this world is no longer a world of sovereign nations that have limited contact with each other. The last powerful nation was Great Britain, and it never collapsed. It just slowly lost it's power as America and the USSR began fighting for the power. Great Britain today is still a significant country, but it is not the most powerful. That's what I think will happen to the US. Perhaps that will be a good thing. Then our government can focus more on our own people and let some other country screw up the planet for a change.

The Roman Empire fell mostly from the sever economic stress placed upon it from its enormous standing armies. The empire had to continuously expand in order to satiate the spoils of war needed to keep it's forces together.
I would recommend the documentary "Why We Fight" on how we have not heeded Eisenhower's farewell address to keep our military industrial complex in check. Search for it on google video or youtube or something.

Wow you have a great teacher who gave you that assignment.
All you do is google fall of the roman empire ( there is a book of that title but you havent time to read it probably) and you will see MANY similarities.

Compare Rome with a newspaper? I fail to see the connection.
