Wilson: 'The Imperial German Government' put aside all restraints of law or humanity and use(d) its submarines to sink every ship that tried to approach Great Britain and Ireland, the western coast of Europe, or any of the ports controlled by the enemies of Germany within the Mediterranean' etc.'
Bush: 'Saddam Hussein systematically raped, pillaged and plundered a tiny nation no threat to his own' he sought to add to the chemical weapons arsenal a' nuclear weapon'etc.'

I feel that many of these rules are similar to the laws of today, since they were created to set a standard for society. Yet, they are filled with double standards towards women, and the pover...

Colonialism is an important concept to address because it has had such a major impact on the modern world. It is often responsible for the movement of peoples throughout the world and is often a factor in the rate of development of nations.

Earlier that week the principal of the high school...
