Well we know enough to carry on reading beyond a headline, where he makes it perfectly clear that he is not talking about ancient Rome, Greece, the Third Reich or the one with all that red on which the sun never set. It's a good thing to read your link before posting in order to make sure it doesn't completely negate the sentiment you're trying to put across, as this one does. It's also quite a good idea to look at the date on it. This one is ten and a half years old, and as far as I know we're still waiting for the next Napoleon...
