I am sure there are both opponents and supporters of the Castro’s in Cuba, but it is interesting how one family can lead a country for so long. The people just seem to accept it even if they are living in bad conditions. The lack of complacency and the hunger for improvement on the part of the people is what I think has made America the greatest country in the world for so long.

The plan to raid Harpers Ferry was a GREAT plan, but he isn’t a leader. Robert E. Lee IS a true leader. His convictions weren’t too harsh and matched his acts of crime. He died doing what made him happy though, and that’s all that

Some of these bin Laden’s lieutenants claimed to have been killed include Ilyas Kashmiri. Ilyas was considered as one of the most dangerous strategists and operational commanders of al-Qaida.
