Extraordinary X-rays show how 150-year-old dolls were used to smuggle drugs during U.S. Civil War

Yes, we would have. I fully believe the Civil War reduced the States’ rights and gave the federal government powers it did not previously have, but it was already on its way to having such powers. Previous Supreme Court cases already set that in motion. The South also was a participant.

If anything, should the South have won and it, too, followed the North with federal powers, imagine the argument today: “Well, of course it’s proper for the federal government to be so powerful, just look at the North, they do it, too.”

I don’t think the South winning would have changed much as far as federal power grabs.

I have spent four combat tours in Iraq and AF. The people we are fighting HAVE to be killed individually. They will NEVER sue for peace.

If we kill indiscriminately, it proves what they are saying about us and recruits flow like water. When we kill individually, the populace realizes it could have been them, and turn in and stop supporting the Jihadists.

In Iraq, we killed enough of the Jihadists, that the normal populace could turn the others in without threat of retaliation. The difference is the proximity of Pakistan which keeps producing recruits.

The good news is that we have body-tagged so much of their leadership, that the ones who take their place are nowhere near as competent and lose even more battles. But eventually, if we kill enough, they will stop fighting. They won't sue for peace, they just will turn to blowing up their own people in Pakistan or wherever they are.
