我读过很多传记。很有意思的是，当你读多了，就会开始看出伟人之间的共同特质。尤其是 Peter Green 写的《Alexander of Macedon》，读起来简直引人入胜。
I read a lot of biographies. It's interesting how you start seeing the common denominators between great men when you do. Especially 'Alexander of Macedon' by Peter Green is a riveting read.
…Afganistan (Greco-Baktrian Kingdon, Mauryan Empire, Kushan Empire, Sassanian Empire, Ghaznavids, Mongol Empire, Timurid Empire, Mughal Empire and Safavid Empire to name just a few) then failed ones. Alexander of Macedon[2], British, Soviets and now USA have failed because they all have had unrealistic objectives. But Afghanistan had been ruled by "foreign" rulers for most of it's history. They all had one thing in common…
…saw the title. It describes 3 fascist or near-fascist states that lost in recent history: Germany, Italy, Franco's Spain. But I wanted to know if Rome under Julius Caesar would be considered fascist? Alexander of Macedon? And also non-western states as well. IMO it is less about fascism but wars of conquests that are more likely to be doomed to fail. Maybe fascism is a requirement for desires of conquest so they are…

……阿富汗（比如希腊-巴克特里亚王国、孔雀王朝、贵霜帝国、萨珊王朝、加兹尼王朝、蒙古帝国、帖木儿帝国、莫卧儿帝国和萨非帝国等等），而不是失败的那些。马其顿的亚历山大[2]、英国人、苏联人，以及现在的美国人都失败了，因为他们的目标都不切实际。但阿富汗在历史上的大部分时间里都是由“外来”统治者统治的。他们都有一个共同点……

……看到了标题。它描述了近代史上战败的 3 个法西斯或准法西斯国家：德国、意大利、佛朗哥时期的西班牙。但我想知道，凯撒统治下的罗马算不算法西斯？马其顿的亚历山大呢？还有非西方国家呢？依我看，关键不在于法西斯主义，而是征服战争本身就更容易注定失败。也许法西斯主义是对征服欲望的先决条件，所以它们……
