In order to greatly diminish terrorism, the optimal time and place to visit would be the United States Supreme Court during December, 2000, and the legislative and judicial branches of government in the state of Florida during November and December of that year. The United States Supreme Court, located in Washington, D.C., for the first time ever, chose the president of the United States by its actions (Fitzpatrick, 2002). It had been put in that position by election conduct the state of Florida engaged in under its governor, Jeb Bush, brother to George W. Bush. The entire affair smacks not only of partisan politics, but also of nepotism and an attempt to install a Bush min-dynasty in American government.
By choosing George W. Bush over Albert V. Gore, the United States Supreme Court set in motion a series of interlocking events that could not...
In short, George W. Bush invaded Iraq not because of Osama bin Laden, but because Bush's father had failed to 'get' Saddam Hussein, and of course, there is the oil. It invaded Afghanistan supposedly to hunt bin Laden, who was apparently on the move to Pakistan, a nation we have not invaded. But then, they have nuclear capability, which seems to deter bullying of that nation by the U.S.
Debates could rage for a long time concerning the psychology of the Bush administration. What is unarguable, with only fleeting references to Colin Powell's departure from government and the lies Bush told Americans concerning Iraq at the very least, is that George W.…
While the electioneering in Florida was well-reported -- from the turning away of qualified voters who were probably Democrats because they were definitely minority ethnics, to the refusal of Kathleen Harris to abide by the state's own election laws -- it was the Supreme Court of the United States that crowned George Bush. While the Supreme Court, because of its ability to affect policy, has been an issue in elections, it had never before been the arbiter of one (Fitzpatrickd, 2002).
When it had become clear that something was drastically wrong with the way votes were being counted in Florida, lawyers for both Democrats and Republicans wrangled over the recount, taking it to the biased Florida elections officials and into the Florida legislature and courts. Eventually, unresolved at the state level, the issue ascended to the Supreme Court. "The impasse finally was resolved not by the ballot box but by five justices of an ideologically fractured U.S. Supreme Court who, by stopping the state-wide manual recount of invalidated ballots that had been authorized by the Supreme Court of Florida, effectively made Bush the nation's forty-third president" (Fitzpatrickd, 2002).
In so doing, they delivered to George W. Bush not a popular mandate
Traveling Project Time Traveling Byzantine Architecture -- the Hagia Sophia In all my travels, no structure can bring about as much awe and respect as that of the Byzantine Hagia Sophia, an immense temple that merges East and West in a conglomeration of buttresses and minarets. Looking back at its 1,500-year history, I can only imagine the changes that the structure has undergone through those eras, from its Byzantine origins to its
Com). There was nothing obscene about the beauty of David, not even in the eyes of Catholic Italy, and long after the wars of the Italian city-states have ended, the glory of David lingers in the mind. Chapter 3: Islamic detour It must not be forgotten that many great, artistically-inclined civilizations existed beyond that of the borders of West: for example, remember the Islamic world during the Middle Ages. But upon gazing
This is the view taken by Salvaggio (1984), who observes that "Butler places her heroines in worlds filled with racial and sexual obstacles, forcing her characters to survive and eventually overcome these societal barriers to their independence. Sometimes her black heroines are paired with white men who challenge their abilities; sometimes they are paired with powerful black men who threaten their very autonomy and existence. And always, the society in
As Alexie himself recalls, this was truly the character -- or perhaps the concept, and the idea -- that truly germinated into the full novel. The author heard an interview with the flight instructor of one of the men responsible for the September 11th terrorist attacks, and the sense of personal betrayal that this real-life flight instructor felt was made palpable for Zits just as it was made perfectly
It is impossible to read the Great Gatsby without identifying if not with individual characters then with the struggles they experience. Truly, it is timeless. In my personal life, I have recently experienced several setbacks which forced a reassessment of those goals and achievements I had been working steadfastly towards for years. Much the way that Gatz had in the pursuit of becoming Gatsby. So certain was I as was
Trip of a Lifetime Bon Giorno, Italia! This is the trip of a lifetime to Italy, financed by a $50,000.00 inheritance from a nonexistent relative. The trip is for two people, including Yours Truly and a good friend who shall be known as "Zippy." Money is fortunately no object, as most researched financial aspects of this trip are stunningly high. Unfortunately, our time is limited to a two-week period, which is
