The New Place

You never need wonder where global anti-Americanism comes from. Indeed. Hopefully the world may now be better equipped to put the leash on the beast... I don't think so Sertorio. A US president has only limited powers. Constitutional limitations; the division of powers between executive and legisla...

US politics attracts some truly grubby characters, doesn't it?
