  Hey - very interesting tidbits...Thomas thank you for starting the AP Blog - American foreign policy is very complex - I wonder what would have happened if American intervened in the Spanish American War - would World War II erupted earlier - would Hitler's Final Solution been avoided or defeated before the horrible consequences.
It is so easy to make or critique our past and qualify it as a mistake. I have never really understood the quote..."we must remember our past so we aren't condemned to repeat it .

How can we repeat something that is so different - or do we repeat the same instances with superior technology.
"Under God" - did you know they added that phrase in the 50s during the cold war? America's rally around Freedom...Goodness and Godliness...Cold War propaganda?

Prediction: On the fifty year anniversary of Brown vs. Board of Education (1954) - Portland will host a major racial riot....Topic "TALK" See you tommorow
