I read some sci-fi novel once. It took the idea of the roman empire falling after raids by barbarians to be a sort of hard and fast rule. the more powerful and all consuming an empire gets the more corrupted and rotten it gets on the inside and it gets easier for some external force (it has to be external, I forget why). Any way the protagnist has a starship and becaus eof relativly or something, time goes really slow in the ship. anyway the point is he sorta circled around until the intergalatic empire got so big and bloated that one 'barbarian' (him), could topple it. if no one can beat us but ourselves, maybe we need to start looking over our shoulders for 21st century vikings doing hit and runs...maybe they've already started. WTC anyone?
