She states society fears some…

The United States government is made up of three branches, the judicial, legislative, and executive. Each branch has specific powers, some of which they share. Of the three branches, the executive and legislative branches are supposed to be the primary two holders of the war powers. I believe that through history it has been shown that the legislative branch and the executive branch are fairly equal with one another when it comes to their war powers. There have been several occurrences…

I was a young, reckless 18-year-old man from a city in Illinois called Aurora. I shipped off to basic training for the military right after graduating high school. I arrived at my first duty station after basic training and advanced training to be an automated logistical specialist, which I would be in the Army. The deployments that lay ahead would cause me to change for the better. The duty station was overseas in Germany. People were speaking a language that I was unfamiliar with and driving…

Iraq represents a nemesis, a point that states should perhaps intervene elsewhere, as we are living amongst the consequences caused by ‘humanitarian intervention’. The social fabric of Iraqi society…

I do agree with the Warren commission's findings. As pointed out in our book, while critics have found fault with the Warren commission's findings no convincing alternative interpretation of the events of November 22nd,1963 have been developed. America's love and fascination with all things JFK in my opinion, support the notion that although Kennedy offered few solutions to the day’s pressing issues his charisma and charm were immortalized near to the point of Sainthood.
