Hi,

Up at the wargamer an interesting article on Alexander the Great's
failure to translate military gains into political success.

http://www.wargamer.com/articles/politics_by_other_means_2/default.asp

While reading it I had the feeling that the word "Iraq" was about to
crop up in the last paragraph, but it didn't - a good read all the way.
Greetz,

But let's not forget, he died before he got a chance to rule.
