if we had paid attention to the way the assyrians used terror to conquer people, and realized how it came back to haunt them, then maybe today we would be in a world with less terror in it.

If we paid attention to many events in Mesopotamia a lot of things would not have happened.For instance, Hammurabi was able to come up with a code of laws that was the foundation for a government's rules. If we had followed his laws here in the United States then we wouldnt have had so much trouble with crime. Though it may seem horrible that if someone's son is killed by someone in your family then your son must die, it is fair. A life for a life. Now, we are more civilized than that but Hammurabi could have gotten us on the right path instead of having so much trouble coming up with our own rules. Another example could include Assyria's way of simply knocking on your door and saying "Hi, we would like to conquer you." It's a lot easier to do that than to be bombing a country and having innocent people die. If you do it once and do it right then you wont have to do it again. It's not only a faster method,it's also a smarter one! Many wars could have been avoided. This includes world war 1 and 2, September 11th...... if you think about it were talking about thousands of lives that would not be lost.
