Well that and you know that you have a better chance for survival. Maybe I mean it this way. Do you need more courage to fight the way they did then, or as they did during the civil war, then now?
That was my thought, that they just over spent/over reached themselves. It seems the English were better at that game than the Spanish.
When someone one does a search (like google) will it just hit the title of the topics or will it also search the body as well?
Well, the terrorism comes from radical factions among Islam, not necessarily from the Saudi's themselves. Broadening that statement, it's happening all around the world, the westernization of society, especially in the east (china). I think thats what they want, because when you boil it down were all the same, we all want to be comfortable and happy. I am not too familiar with the economy there, so Skiguy the only source for wealth I know of is oil, I'm sure there are other sources, but I'm also sure that oil is the majority.
This might seem a little pessamistic but being exposed to wealth and materials can make religous matters not so important. So maybe their wealth and possesions and the ability to get them have become something in common with us.
1856 : Woodrow Wilson born in Staunton, VirginiaOn this day in 1856, future President Woodrow Wilson is born in Staunton, Virginia. He attended private schools and graduated from Princeton University in 1879 before studying law at the University of Virginia and earning his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University. He was hired by Princeton as a professor of political science in 1899 and went on to serve as the institution?s president from 1902 to 1910. As Princeton?s head administrator, he revolutionized its teaching program and was largely responsible for elevating Princeton to its current prestige. Wilson?s management of Princeton also earned the attention of Democratic Party leaders, who encouraged him to run for political office. Wilson once admitted that if he hadn?t entered politics he would have been happy to live out his life teaching and playing golf, his favorite past time.Wilson?s political career, once launched, was meteoric. It began with his election as governor of New Jersey in 1910; two years later he was elected president of the United States, a position he held until 1921.
He ran, but public opinion was against him so he challenged Carter to televised debates (the first between a President and an opponent) He nearly overtook Carter but Carter won.
