From heroes to zeros American Affairs will be a stomping ground for domestic and foreign affairs from 9/11 to hurricane Katrina recovery, global warming to US elections.
Is the Patriot Act destroying civil liberties and state's rights? Is the economy going to survive the growing national debt, trade policy and military spending? Will Americans vote at the polls or just for reality TV? In an ever changing world, change is absolute.
Here we'll talk about US armed conflicts, weapons of mass destruction, Iran, Iraq, Korea, Afganistan, Abu Ghraib, US Presidents, employment trends, the sinking dollar, political party hopefuls, and the nightly reports and talk shows that make and deliver the news. Email me with questions or post in the discussion forum.
