Or like Saddam declaring, "hada qadesiat-ul Saddam" as he invaded Iran ("this is Saddam's Qadesia -- refering to an ancient war which led to the creation of Islamic Empire). It later turned out to be a Waterloo. I think the age of empires has come and gone. Control freaks beware, you will never be able to control everything, but if you commit to a peaceful and prosperous world, you will not need the control in the first place.

Sun Tzu

Superior leaders get things done with very little motion. They impart instruction not through many words, but through a few deeds. They keep informed about everything but interfere hardly at all. They are catalysts, and though things would not get done as well if they were not there, when they succeed they take no credit. And, because they take no credit, credit never leaves them.
--Lao-Tzu
