					<description><![CDATA[&quot;November 7, 1973 - Congress passes the War Powers Resolution requiring the President to obtain the support of Congress within 90 days of sending American troops abroad.

This somewhat controversial resolution, whose constitutionality has been debated, remains in force today.&quot;

How important were those last two SCOTUS appointments, and the next one, now?  We might end up seeing this one go to court at some point.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ymar, you have a point.  The Left certainly does love to demonize our allies, all the while idolizing our enemies.  (Remember their adulation of the noble Arafat?  And just think how much they like Castro!) 

Holding the serfs in check?  This might be why they applaud the fall of Saigon so much---and never mention such inconvenient facts as re-education camps, boat people, the number of people killed after the Americans left and the fact that many Vietnamese fled to the very &quot;Puppet masters&quot; the kindly Communists supposedly saved them from (i.e., America.)

Of course, the Left explains this as being just the &quot;rich&quot; and &quot;American allies&quot; who fled, despite the fact thousands upon thousands of Vietnamese fled (we&#039;ll never know how many tried, and were lost at sea.)  Of course begs the question that, if so many thousands of people were so closely tied to the allegedly corrupt, weak, &quot;puppet&quot; American government they had to run when the Communists took over---well, maybe the puppet government was reasonably popular with the Vietnamese---or at least better liked than what Communism had to offer.  Hey, give me the choice between a puppet government, and a totalitarian, fanatical Marxist government, I&#039;ll take the puppets every time!

But don&#039;t ask these questions! No, no, our allies must be demonized as puppets of America ; wouldn&#039;t do to let the sergs get too uppity.)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Talkin, nothing is worse to the Left than a US puppet government. How would you, as an aristocrat, feel about anyone that works with someone that has more power than you, in order to free the serfs from under your power?

That is how the Left feels about governments working with the US. Not tolerable. The serfs must be held in check, Talkin, otherwise what purpose is left for the Left?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;BTW, I’m one of those who applauded the toppling of Saddam for US security reasons&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It&#039;s not often people have the honesty to admit up front their lack of foresight, predictive acumen, and credibility.  I commend your willingness to stand up and say that your analytical abilities are moribund and defective.

That kind of candor is refreshing.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Rodney, it helps sometimes to understand reality as it is, and not as one wishes it to be. After falling of Berlin wall, the world is US backyard. This is what globalization is about. And if US would not install order at this backyard, it would be ruled by criminal thugs. I do not like such future, and you should not like it too, if you have some brains in your head.]]></description>
