Well said.
But if we talking about glorified historical parallels, lets take a
look on a few other persons to be more
objective.
Napoleon - tried to repeat the glorious deeds of the past, defeated
and ended up dying alone on distant island.
Hitler - wanted better, glorious future for Germans, and defeated by
allies, who didn't shared his view.

And at last one - Chengis Khan. One who built the most powerful empire
and most biggest one in the history.
But what is left from this empire? Culture - no. It was assimilated by
different cultures. Architecture? No.
We have a lot of architecture remnants from more distant past, but
nothing worth mentioning from the glorious mongol empire.
The only thing, which left is a memory about raging mongol cavalry,
which was a most feared power in the middle ages world.
And the stories about destruction and mass slaughter, when mongols
defeating another country and sieze control of it.

Yes, of course, we could wear the dictatorship crowns and start
fighting with watermills, losing the troops.
But i fear this doesnt makes our chances any better to become the
glorious and successfull.
