all they did was pattern it after ours!
Times they are a changing. I hope wiser heads prevail and the power brokers don’t get us into a World War. The ship of state seems to be heading that way—They do not think we can lose. They keep re-playing WW II and it will be nothing like that. We have, in our arrogance, founded an American Fantasy that we can not lose—but we can. Like the Japanese who thought they had never lost a war were faced with a national disgrace in 1945. Has America ever lost a war? Yes, look at the war of 1812—the Brits burned our capital. This time we have much more to lose. We have made some powerful enemies in the world and they are ganging up on us—the people we thought we could trust have gotten weaker or become angry at us (Think Germany—they were part of NATO because of the Soviet Threat—that threat is gone and the pipeline has angered many Germans.) No, these are intereresting times.
