I did not forget WW1 Duncan, any historian will tell you its way way to arguable as to weather our late involvment actually saved Eroupe, in the same way at all as WW2. In WW1 we came over a day late and a dollar short with a shovel to "help", in WW2 we came over with a bulldozer.

Any student of the Federalist Papers (which btw is the handbook for constitutional interpetation for the high court) can tell you that the Federal Governemnet must and will hold dominion over that of the states if it wished for the country as a whole to survive. With Homeland Security in full swing, that dominions grip just got a little tighter.

Go ask the Civil War buffs about "State's Rights" lol.
