Here's Kingmi's Thoughtful, Global Question of the Day (in 100 words) --

When Vlidimir Lenin built the world's first socialist state, at a time when capitalism was beginning to connect the world's economy, he chose Russia.

Here's Kingmi's Thoughtful, Global Question of the Day (in 100 words) --

A few years back Iran had a problem with "Barbie" dolls. It seems that they had become very popular in that country.

If in the 1970's the Defense Department was dealing with USSR; in the 1980's dealing with evil states (like Syria, Somalia, Haiti, Serbia); and in the 1990's dealing with "evil leaders and evil-doers" is it possible that the money spent on defense should be spent on Homeland Security? -- (Barnett,...
