In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

The truth about Woodrow Wilson

The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History by Thomas Woods is an awesome book. I especially like the chapter on how the United States got into World War I. As stated in the chapter, 98% of the American people wanted to avoid the senseless slaughter of the European conflict. It was none of our business, and Americans knew it. But somehow the diplomatic neophyte, racist, Anglophile Woodrow Wilson maneuvered us into war, killing 113,000 Americans. He said at the time that the U.S. must make the world safe for democracy. Sorry, Woodrow, that's not in the Constitution. For the full story on Wilson, pick up Wilson's War by Jim Powell.

Both books should be part of your library - you won't regret it. You might also want to pick up a copy of Lies My Teacher Told Me by Jim Loewen while you're at it.
