:-) wow. I thought I was the only one who felt this way. I like the way he tied the Roosevelt and Wilson eras into it. I guess you can see how many people were sleeping during American and World History classes. Its like Deja Vu. What was the reason for the Spanish-American war again? We don't colonize we just annex or have territories, Phillipines, Guam, Cuba( I guess that's why we are still mad at Castro. Do you actually think America is safer with military bases all over the world while we are closing them at home?

I would like to know Richard, what do you think about us still having sanctions placed on Cuba? I think they were unnecessary when they placed them and I think they are now. Sanctions on a country are horrible because they don't affect the people in power only the citizens. How would Americans feel if the rest of the world placed sanctions on it?It is called to punish a few you make many suffer this is called collective punishment.

Gypsy the funny thing though is that a lot of the ones who ran away and immigrated was not because of persecution but for the money and lifestyle. They are even more vocal at times that the native America in support of the madness. It kind of spoils their American Dream.
