    Not only were we unable to sneak into Soviet air-space without getting caught but President Eisenhower also had tried to deny it at first ("Cold War Crises in the 1960s.”). However, because the Soviet Union took the aircraft and its pilot, Francis Gary Powers, as evidence, Eisenhower later had to confess to this mission but refused to apologize for it. The downing of this American spy plane by the Soviet Union in 1960 made the country feel defeated once again. This aircraft was a key component in the arsenal of the United States. It was supposed to gather information about the missile capability of the Soviet Union to put us ahead in the war effort but instead backfired and put us further behind.…

Imperialism is more of a negative idea than a positive one – it signifies a nation's thirst for expansion at the expense of others.…

Regardless of what one is more inclined to compare war to, it is a fact war favors the prepared.…
