| | It still took two bombs to show Japan that we were serious, two weapons capable of mass destruction. I don't know how much more they would have needed, how many more lives they would have sacrificed had we not dine it this way. | | It still took two bombs to show Japan that we were serious, two weapons capable of mass destruction.

| | + | '''7.''' It appears the ghostly figure in the cartoon represents Teddy Roosevelt, the huge sticks being brought into the White House standing for the power from the House and Senate. Now, this could either represent the time when the foreign policy with Latin America, but more probably when the United Nations came in effect. That could explain the dictatorial power print, for someone refused to obey them and was court-marshaled. If this is the case, then the cartoon was penned in the 1940s. |

| | '''H1)''' I would have to say that presidents are becoming followers as the years go by. Very few have stood, or stand for new or different choices that the people may or may not agree with. That's simply how they get elected, though. They say they believe in the causes that a majority of the country believe, get themselves elected, but one really has to wonder if they believe these things or not. Especially when a number of the "popular causes" contradict each other. | | '''H1)''' I would have to say that presidents are becoming followers as the years go by.

| | Now, having the same beliefs has a majority of the Americans can be seen as becoming a leader, wanting to lead America in the most popular way. But all this leader is leading is simply "the cool crowd," those with the most popular beliefs and ideas. So I say that no matter what it may look like, presidents have become a group of followers instead of true leaders. | | Now, having the same beliefs has a majority of the Americans can be seen as becoming a leader, wanting to lead America in the most popular way.

| − | H3) There is certainly a possibility of America going into a depression. For that matter, there's a chance that the entire world will be drug down alongside us. If somethings like this is going to happen, there's very little we can do to stop it completely; many efforts have been made just to stop the recession in America, which in my opinion is doing nothing more then plunging us into even further debt. I'm still not one-hundred percent sure whether a depression is going to happen or not, but I do know that it would serve this country right. With trillions of dollars in debt, we're some of the greediest people in the world, and who knows the mind of God to see into the future? So all I'll say is it's a possibility, but even if it happens and brings with it obviously depressing things, and even living prophecies, we needn't be worried. Whatever happens will be for God's glory; even if we lose houses, cars, or jobs, all the better so we can praise God with no distractions. | + | '''H3)''' There is certainly a possibility of America going into a depression.
