Lets face it and learn from history: Barbarian hordes always defeated civilized realms, unless the civilzed army used the most brutal methods. In this case Julius Caesar in 55 AD (see quote below).It will not change now. Thank God I am not 30 something:2 cents
Quote:
The two Germanic tribes, arriving from the east of the Rhine in the spring of the year, had appealed to the Caesar for asylum, after having been driven from their lands by another tribe, the Suebi. The Roman leader refused their request, but instead suggested they share land with another tribe who were also enemies with the Suebi.
The Tencteri and Usipetes are said to have petitioned for a three-day truce to consider the offer, but Julius Caesar abruptly ordered his men to destroy the tribes “violently,”.
In what is described as Caesar at his “ absolute worst ,” he sent his eight legions and cavalry to pursue the fleeing tribes. The legions surrounded them and cut them all down—men, women, and children.
As recorded by Julius Caesar himself, a bloody battle took place in 55 BC resulting in the genocide of between 150,000 and 200,000 Germanic tribespeople, including women and children, in what is now Netherlands.

This action extended the Roman Empire by 400 years....Anybody can see any analogy to current time?
