So why did Eric Holder want to buy lots of guns/ammo from Arizona & Texas for pickup by Mexican drug cartels?

You forgot, or never read, that ATF agents forced gun dealers to sell to known Mexican thug strawmen to get the guns into Mexico. If the laws had been adhered to, none of them would've been sold the guns in the first place.

Darrell Issa hates Eric Holder. He has for a long time, though I don't know why. He also hates Obama, which is a little more obvious.

He promised after his reelection that he would hold hearings five days a week, forty weeks out of the year. In other words, this is supposed to make him feel powerful, while wasting a ton of the country's money and pretending to be fiscally conservative.

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.
