The biggest problem with the Vandals sacking Rome is that they didn't do it 
often enough. It's too bad they didn't get to Nicaea and Constantinople in the 
century and a quarter prior to the Roman sack, as that may have prevented a 
lot of grief all around.

The descendants have less about which to complain in face of the realities of 
their ancient enemies being hunted and heated to extinction.
