It is after all something that did occur in our nation's history.
Our history is not rosy--heck, no society's history is without its black marks.
OTOH, it does provide both present and future leaders a lesson --if only we learn from the past.
He who controls the present controls the past. And he who controls the past controls the future.
You think someone could get the new Presidente de Mexico a history lesson as to how FDRs plans got us out of the great depression and maybe he could implement something similar there so that they are not all crawling up here.
