Hatshepsut served as regent for her stepson, Thutmosis III, but then assumed the throne for herself. Her reign was quite prosperous.
What about like a Joe Lieberman (modern day) Liberal as opposed to a Harry Reid Leftist? Those are probable two extreme examples of a Liberal and a Leftist. Lieberman is certainly no Conservative but he's pro-American. Reid blames America for everything.
Pretty much the facts I gave are about all I know. It was a little sidebar in my math book. He “invented” algebraic formulas (I'm guessing he proved quadratic equations) therefore I do not like him. 😀 He also made contributions to astronomy and physics as well as the electronic telegraph.(circa 1830)

True, Phid. But adding it together, there were more non-combatant Japanese civilians killed and non-military targets destroyed during the air strikes. If we didn't drop the bombs, we would have just destroyed more cities, if not, the whole country.
The U.S. firebombed Tokyo and Kobe killing thousands of civilian and basically destroyed the cities, yet the Japanese still did not give up. I don't see where Truman had much of a choice to end the war, other than more air assualts, which would have been far worse (for Japan) than 2 a-bombs. IMO

having captured someone puts them in our jurisdiction, eh?
Wouldn't it depend on how you define them?
Good list, Don! I look forward to learning all that. The first courses is before the 30 Yr War and the second one is after.
Step 2: Ten Shots At Che Guevara I like the point by point rebuttals.
