[QUOTE="longtime, post: 165865, member: 16513"] Tony -- I am very familiar with the fall of the Roman empire. And with the genesis of the word "barbarians." The analogy fits. That they lost, well . . . . Are you familiar with the Visigoths? Vandals? etc.? The Romans did indeed mean "speakers of a foreign tongue". It is those of us who [i]followed[/i] who ascribed a normative (perjorative) meaning to the term "barbarian," based upon what the tribes subsequently did. :scream: And here, like there, it is the current meaning of "barbarian" that is the important one. btw -- please elaborate on the point -- you're not saying that our current enemies are [i]not[/i] barbarians (current usage), are you?
