One could also put forward the dialectic that the American “right” is just as anti-american with the white-house’s Faith-Based initiatives or even the religious prison of Lawtey in Florida since they are obvious contradictions to the principle of separation of Church and State the American constitution hold so dearly. It’s just a matter of perspective...

The problem in the United States is rather in the dichotomization of its political life. The two-party system it offers creates two massive ideologies to adhere to with mass support and creating these kinds of rhetorical arguments of who’s the rightest one.

Actually, the first country legalising compulsory sterilisation was in fact the United States. Before World War II, eugenics were relatively normal in most countries (including Australia, Canada, United States, Iceland and many others); notably for the mentally retarded. In the United States, it was first introduced by Pennsylvania in 1905 and followed by many other states after (and upheld by the Supreme court in Buck v. Bell trial). Howev

Reply to Did the United States unilaterally win World War II? in Politics JoeUser Forums

It’s unfortunate that in American histography, the role of the Soviet Union during World War II was seriously minimized with the advent of the Cold War. In fact, with the bipolarization of the world during that period, the role of the of both new superpowers in the conflict was notably increased histographycally. Hopefully one day we’ll see a balanced view of the War in each culture's dogmata.

unigolyn357 : You can't see a linear political spectrum (Left & Right) as being tangible through time. It is, rather, a limited classification and comparison tool to its given period. The term has grown enormously through time since its genesis during the French Revolution according to the geopolitical setting; rendering it different from region to region and from time to time (and also, quite evidently, on what you're trying to compare).

Reply to Blood for oil? You bet. in International JoeUser Forums

The Iran-Iraq war wasn't for oil, but rather, in part, for the control of the Shatt al-Arab river to ship the oil. However, the Islamist revolution was the main factor that forced Saddam to invade Iran, fearing the Islamist Revolution would reach his Shia population. It is important to note that the conflict lasted for so long because of the western influence. The traditional powers did not want to see Iraq rise to a "superpower" status while they
