WW2 Is It Over?   It has been said that the effects of war can be long lasting and devastating.  Well, if we use our heads, mixed with a bit of common sense, and add that to learning and research...We may just have a formula for hope.   Who Knows and Who Cares When I was a child, I, like most kids my age, didn't have a clue about war.  But as I got older, I began hearing things about it in middle school, high school, and even college.  I still, however, had the mind set of "what that have to do with me?" How did it effect the world?  How does it effect us now?  Why is it even important? It has been said that if wars aren't understood by the average person, there's a good chance of it happening again.     Help From the Allies   The allies were informed about the NAZI camps by formal letters written by ex prisoners that escaped years before the end of the war, but they still kept their focus on combat....

"the word humane" should go out the window.  The victims don't have an opti...

Did anyone of you happen to see a documentary called "Man Hunt"??  It's about some important people who work behind the scenes to save the lives of Americans. To keep you, and I secure is also their great passion. As it turns out, an agency called the CIA, worked long and hard for many years way before 911. In the 1990s most Americans were raising families, going to work, living in new houses and apartments. The documentary called "Man Hunt" was made post 911.  It has been said that the fault of 911 should fall on the CIA.  Some thought the CIA knew about 911 before it happened, and others made up their mind that the CIA was sleeping at the wheel.  The truth was announced when the CIA was able to tell their side of the story. Our Central Intelligence Agency was working hard from the 1980s, 1990s, up to today.  Protecting American lives from Al Queda, and preventing sneak attacks. Over the decades, films, letters, and...
