.... of the Pacific. America and FDR knew that the country would be in trouble if they attained a mildly threatening amount of power, however, the USA persisted.. Along with the economic threat that Japan posed to America, they were also attacking the US without there being an official declaration of war. Despite the fact that the United States was "neutral" at this point, Japan proceeded to sink the Panay in 1937.

The Nazis and SS, another Anti-Jew German group, referred to killing Jews and exterminating their race and making Germany a dominate race of just Germans the "special treatment" and the ans .....

.... and blue. The flags for Australia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Cuba, and France all share the same three colors, yet they are not configured the same way. The flag of the United States has fifty stars and the French flag has three thick bars of color. It is in this way that McBrien relates the flags of the world to Catholicism. The Catholic Church is distinguished from other Christian religions by the configuration of its practices and characteristics. One instance that I read about in the news recently was about a young girl in England who became pregnant. The girl went to her church and told her priest. The priest then referred the girl to the Cardinal of .....

.... than the Indians. This said that the people the women were having sex with were people from other than their tribe. They mentioned that the Indians had more rules about when, where and who they could have sex with. For example they were not allowed to have sex while they were pregnant, men who were going or coming from war were not allowed to have sex either because they needed to keep their minds on the battle. The English were also surprised at the fact that women did all the work and were allowed to dress nicely.
