What the United States did to try and control the World isn't new. History has shown many other so called Great Leaders used their power to control other countries. Yes they all failed and so with the United States. As we see with the Evil that the White House has spread around the World. New friendships have developed by those who never spoke to each other before. History is being made by trades and alliances from all countries. The Middle East is becoming strong and rich. Even Pakistan has a woman Speaker for the first time in history. Pakistan who never gave woman rights has turn and seen woman as leaders. A new President for Pakistan who is a close friend of the Clintons. Taiwan's new President is drawing closer to China and away from the US. Argentina's female President says Hillary Clinton her friend was her role model in seeking to be President. Interesting how so many countries are electing woman in top jobs while American woman attack the same growth of Mrs. Clinton. I laughed when Karen Hughes went around the World saying countries should follow the US model for woman's rights now that's the biggest joke. American woman want top positions for themselves but are against any other woman who is qualified. Men in America and the Supreme Court have paved the way with the help of American woman to destroy Woman's Rights Bill. I lived during a period when Woman were given equal rights, I guess now I'll see first hand what it was like before that bill was passed. I do feel bad for successful woman who own business and property as that will not be allowed.

A great knowledgeable man once said if you don't learn you will come full circle and have to repeat the same thing again.
