During the 50s conservates were in power. The Red Scare, McCarthy
hearings.

In the 60s the pendlum swung to the to the liberals. Civil Rights era,
counter culture revolution, "flower power."

The 70s was mix of the two. Workfare not welfare by Nixion, the end of
Vietman war, anti-nuclear weapons prolification pact signed, Watergate,
the sexual revolution.

80s was clearly convservate times. End of Communism in Europe,
corporations received more power, Regan's trickle down economy failure
and increased homelessness leads to...

...the 90s liberal power play for president. Economic reforms lead to
national economic surge. Internet is the new media and new cash cow for
tech stocks. Gun control law, the Brady bill, is proposed and passed.
But Republican take control of Congress.

The 00's... the conversatives divide nation in 2000's presidential
election. 9/11 causes War on Terrorism. The tension between europe and
US rises due the Iraq war. The US ignores the rise of socialist
popularity in South America. Increase anti US resentment around the
world. Poor US military management in Iraq and Republican scandels lead
Democrats to take control of congress.

The 2010s....

What are your predictions for the next ten years?

If we didnt care if the iraqi people die then maybe you can explain
Saddam gassing innocent villages of his own people to see if his anthrax
and nerve gasses worked? Why would any leader want his OWN to perish in
such a god awful way? He was a mad man and had to be stopped. He refused
to comply with the UN on the inspections and the WOMD were found and
many were shipped over to north korea. He played games, ****ed around
with the UN and repeated warnings, his murdering rampages went on and
on. If he was such a super hero in your eyes gary then why was he found
hiding like a rat in a hole in the desert? why did his own people hang
him 30 minutes after picking him up? This has been going on for decades
with iran and iraq. Nothing new except i find it awful funny that iran
wanted us there for decades fighting their holy war. Now we are they and
we are not wanted? I am LMAO! your in a stupor or some form of delusion
to just blame george dubbya. This goes waaaay back in history. JMHO!!
