this is gonna be long so keep reading before you answer.

In 2000 i was out in Touscan Arizona at the Airplane museum there. One of the planes on display was the last turbo prop Air Force One which just happened to be what JFK flew on prior to his death.

A new jet powered AF1 was to fly to Dallas to replace it, and would have carried the Kennedies back to Washington after their stay there.

The tour guide told us something that was very interesting and got my attention. It seems Lyndon Johnson was on the new AF1 waiting to go to Dallas at the time Kennedy was killed. This was, very weird since he didnt need to be there. Why was Johnson waiting to fly to Dallas?

So i started looking at the years before and around that day in Dallas.

1960: The Joint Chiefs and CIA attempt to kill Castro but fail in what became known as the Bay of Pigs Fiasco.
1961: Cuban Missile Crisis. Russia places nuclear weapons and threatens to move more into cuba. The Joint Chiefs want to redeem

After visiting Hiroshima Museum, I have seen the Japanese have down played their role during WW2 but instead I sensed some hidden message that is : asking why the American used the Atomic Bomb on these 2 cities and are they using Japan as a guinea pig on their latest technology? Every year, they repeated the protest about war.

NOW, can somebody tells me what make America retaliates? If is because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour? What happen if after Pearl Harbour , would the Japanese continues to attack America IF AMERICA did retaliates?

When Wilhelm I was proclaimed "German Emperor" back in 1871, just how power came with that new position? Did Wilhelm have enough authority to seriously influence the policies and actions of the German Empire? Or did Bismarck hold the real power, leaving Wilhelm as a mere figurehead, akin to the Queen of England's present role?

there is a minor debate in another question as to whether Wallace ever existed or not, and one member says that it is Heresy to say he existed and a lack of knowledge of my own culture and ignorance. I have been to Stirling, taken photo's and talked to the locals. He was a real person. Does anyone else think differently or the same?

Look at Supermans answer then below him the insults start and below that I make my comments.

I only care to resolve if people actually believe that he did not exist for I have never heard of this before now that there was a group that believed it Heresy to say he existed. I know they exist for things such as not believing in Concentration camps or that Slavery never happened. Things like that, I know their are groups that believe that, I never thought this so seriously of Wallace or is this just one person not a group?

Here in the UK, we are aware of some derogotary feeling from the US, having to win WW2 for us, the British.

This is my hypothesis: If the UK had rolled over and been defeated in 1939-42, hitler would have held all of europe, and our teritories including india, austrailia, a lot of Africa etc. With the Japs winning in Burma and asia, with no australian or british resistance, Germany and Japan would have help the whole world outside the US. Hitler would not have been fighting on 2 fronts against russia, russia would have japs and germans on each side and would have folded.

No matter how strong the US is, it could not have resisted the rest of the world, german and Japan on each side. SO if we hadnt resisted carpet bombing of civilians, if we had collaborated at first, the US has us to thank their not talking japaneese! But we DID need your financial support, and we probably wouldnt have won without you.
Just had to point out we won the war too!

I was taught at school that the Boston Tea Party was about a bunch of colonists dressing up as native Americans and dumping a cargo of tea into the harbour in protest about duty on the import. More recently someone told me that actually the colonists were smugglers who were upset was a reduction in duty was damaging their livelihood.

I'm from the North, but I'd root for the South as long as slavery wasn't the issue or anything unethical. You know, it doesn't matter what the issue is, just who would win? You have 50 states to play with here. Alaska and Haiwaii may not even show. The best time to hit the North is in the winter, but maybe not, Southeners are not used to it. We have modern techs now like GPS and Hummers(before they were de-masculized)! Best answer should be interesting and maybe humorous. Anything insulting to either side will not be considered. Winner gets five points or else no one wins. Watch the South Park episode 314 "Jagerminz S'more flavored Schnapps for a resource if you are confused. However, characters in this question should be real life people.

T.E. Lawrence is one. Some disciple of Freud by the last name of Erickson is another.

In particular, I am looking for examples of people that were disturbed by their not having a relationship with their biological father.
