The new U.S. was having trouble with Barbary pirates-Pres. Jefferson sent the Marines to take care of it- thus the words in the Marine Corps. anthem 'From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tr.peli.i.'Pros Madison -1815- sent the fleet - again to finish the job!Madison:"It is a settled policy of America, that as peace is better than war, war is better than tribute. The United States, while they wish for war with no nation,will buy peace with none."Algiers had to pay compenstaion and release U.S. hostages an promise not to offend again!

Projecting 1984 as what the right wants? Did I read that correctly? “little red book to the right” seems to indicate that. If so, I would dissagree. “Animal Farm” was how the left gains power, “1984″ showed how they kept power. These books had a lot to due with Orwell’s disillusionment (i.e. reality knocked) with communism and its sister, Fascism. Nothing Conservative exists in 1984 except the fact “Big brother” actively destroyed all conservative ideals in the book.After President Bush leaves office, who will be lthe left’s new “Snowball” or &#o2r0;G8ldbe2g”?Reply
