*caution* Canadian ruminating on the U.S. Constitution. *caution*

I suppose it also bears considering whether it was intended for the rights specifically enumerated in the Constitution and...

Gotta quickly say, thanks for this awesome resource. I have an assignment later this semester about the strategic ramifications of the opium trade, and this fills in a side of the issue that I've not...

Well said, Rex, overall- although I think it's naive to think this won't handicap his career. Any pilot tagged for command of a CVN is already one of a select few, but in turn is competing for even...

Wow. I totally just felt a great disturbance in the force. :p

I may have spoken precipitously on Anglophone nations ignoring the situations...

Britain is now stating that it would support an intervention on a U.N. mandate, thought here's nothing specifying...

I'm very much a proponent of intervention on humanitarian grounds / R2P. I'd like to see someone step up and do something in this case, because like most of the rest of the dog's breakfast that is...
