If history repeats itself, it means that people such as the Assyrians, who were once the major warlords of their era, but probably fell to their own arrogance, will be duplicated by later nations. An example of their predicament could very well be us, the United States, who, unless very carefull and aware of other nations, could fall into a difficult position. An example of a civilization that could have benefited from this knowledge are the Persians, who, having gained a great deal of territory, decided to so far as to invade Athens in 490 BC, and lost against the Athenian army led by Miltiades. If the Persians had paid attention to the fate of the Assyrians and waited longer to prepare and reconsider their plans, they may have won this battle. If this had happened, the Persians would have gained control of Greece, and all cultures influenced by the Greeks would have been Persian influence.

I think that if we would have paid attention to the Assyrians political weapon of terrorism and also the Persians attacks on the Greeks we could somewhat predict attacks of terrorism and ambushes on other nations.
