But how much more power did a man have over his fate when society was organized by family and clan?

Likely not much, as he would still have been accountable to anyone more wealthy and powerful than him in the region.

We will be fine down under, As long as our Pm keeps her nose out of it all. All will be good. We might pay a little more for our lcd tv or that brand new iphone and white goods, as a lot of our imports are mostly from areas such as Asia, other then that life goes on

I agree with the sentiment of America pooling it's resources back home - would it really create that much instability in the middle east if America pulled its troops and came home?
How much are the combined conflicts (Stan and Iraq) costing the US a month?
What will they gain from it (monetary) at the end?

i think it wouldn't create much, it might expose the actual might of countries there, which would be a good thing.
stan and iraq would have to sink or swim.
like i said, without the US in the mideast, people will not have the US to demonize or count on.
they will have to step up to the line. israel can take care of herself. the buttholes will be scared poopless to attack her when the US is not backing her or caring if she levels whomever.
kill or be killed, evolve or die out.
i am thinking of the USA, i have no doubt you aussies can defend yourselves. ya need help in a bad situation? no problem.
we be there i'm sure, but everyone has to stand up. clean house, let the islamic countries expell the westerners and all they brought, let everyone do what has to be done for their country.

LOL The ranga will not keep her nose out of it - I've never been more embarrassed than when the ranga opens her mouth to fall all over the words of the US.
There is no thought or reason, it's just pandering.

Well ... it has failed as a Democracy. The Neocons have seen to that. And it's failure will be a good thing as this dump of a Nation needs to fail. Perhaps something better can be built.
