Security. When enemies want to blow you up it is needed. The others don't have enemies.
To be fair, and I absolutely dislike Obama, I too would be tooling around in the Beast. -it's not as if America is the country the world loves so there is a security issue. Now at home on the other hand, I don't think he really needs that.
In fact he is probably too insulated from the public and relies on his aides too much to feed him information. That's the only excuse I can think of for his stupidity in not listening to the American people, that or he's just an azzhole.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
