We learned from some very effective masters. I'm sure most of the third world still flinches when they see an English or Dutch or Belgian or German or French gentleman walk by with a cane. I'm rereading a great book on what our European teachers did in Africa right now. 'Exterminate all the brutes' by Sven Lindqvist. It's really a great read and books like it are pretty necessary for Americans who have to suffer through a lot European holier than though attitudes at work or play.

I can't really fathom the views of Ann Coulter though.

if Wilson had stayed out of the bloody Great War it is likely the second would never have happened. He toued "Lusitania" not inlike bush, and it turns out that, he, we were supplying food, money, adn weapons to Germany's war enemies. neurtral my ass. Wilson was dying to get int hat war. Remember the USS Maine incuba as justifcation for the Spanish-American War? Study of the ship indicates that it sunk under poor maintenance not ac act of hostility. The US never stopped to consider working it out with Spain. brazen grab of land form a declining empire. That was also the end of the Democrats stance against foreign wars.
