Last month I read this article in the NY Times describin the parallels between events that occurred in ancient Rome and our curent times. Way back then, pirates attacked and burned the city of Ostia. The leadership at the time used it as an excuse to implement broad "emergency" powers and ultimately chase the senate out of Rome.
