Count yourself lucky. My Political Science major required a Women's Studies course, and I'd describe it as something quite similar, although the professor was much more reasonable than the TA.

Nope, because the Arabs rejected past Partition plans that gave the Jews even less territory. Below is the Peel Commission Report proposal for partition of the British Mandate of Palestine between a Jewish and an Arab state.

I'm not sure how a few years of "climate policies" will change anything about Katrina, unless said climate policies actually means some infrastructure enhancements. It's either that, or the forcible evacuation of New Orleans would prevent the disaster, which, I don't think, any President can...

Remove Gene Roddenberry from having any influence on TNG other than approving the creation of it. That should neutralize the awful, awful first season of TNG that made the Federation come off as always having the moral high ground. Having Ron Moore being one of the leading writers should place...

I've always wondered why. Is there any reason for this, or are many post-apocalyptic writers living in Australia somewhere?

Which are? The only country that might come close to the United States in population, economic wealth, and development level is either Japan, or a united Europe. Looking at either of them, non-Reaganomic policies led to higher debt loads compared to the United States, with a generally worse...

Both sides conducted massacres. Neither one held moral superiority over the other. The Hadassah Medical convoy massacre is a prime example of a massacre against the Jewish population, and not even combatants. The Hadassah convoy massacre took place four days after the Deir Yassin massacre. One...

Two tiny French islands and a large Arctic landmass isn't really wanking Canada. It expands its territory, but it's actual effect on population or wealth would be basically nil. For some actual wanking, have Canada be given Great Britain's Caribbean possessions and colonies during World War II...

Even if it's just affected states, it's still extremely excessive. Even the Soviet Union would be stretched to its limit to conduct anything close to what's indicated in MW3. It doesn't matter if they conducted raids or smaller invasions, we're literally talking about a huge swath of the United...

More than that, actually. The cutscene after the New York mission actually shows the entire American eastern seaboard under Russian control from Maine to Florida. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t_Qa19VtQ4&feature=BFa&list=SP73F82900B1AFA1F1&lf=list_related Look at the video from 1:55. You...

In the third game, the Russians have a massive fleet in New York Harbor. No matter the crash buildup, that'd take years. Way longer than the game's supposed timeline. Also, why has Russia not been nuked? I know M.A.D., but the moment the Russians attacked D.C., nukes would have probably been...

True, but the entire war was never resolved. Plus, a sneak attack on Iceland was more realistic than the stunning successes of the Soviet Union in World in Conflict

Not really an alternate history book, but Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy. The battles, the intensity...seeing Devil's Crosses destroy Soviet armor columns, the Soviet ruse that let them land on Iceland...all awesome

After the Soviet Invasion of Western Europe, the surviving Allied powers gradually began it's liberation campaign against Soviet Occupation forces during the 1940s. Great Britain and the Iberian nations were able to engage overstretched Soviet forces, gradually leading to the liberation of all...

I don't think the Americans really supplied Israel during the 1948 War. Maybe the Yom Kippur War might have a different outcome, but, not really before then.

Simple. Have the Gaza pullout that occurred under Sharon not turn into a clusterfuck by the Palestinians. If Abbas keeps it under control, the peace process accelerates as the Israeli population sees a stable peace possible with the Palestinians if a pullout from the occupied West Bank...

True. That's the other possibility that might occur. That'd probably be a better case scenario for Iran/US relations.

The Democrats might win the House back in 2002, but, it would be extremely close, and it'd be a very small majority, considering the trend from the 2000 House of Representatives election. The Republicans might still hold a slim majority as well, if they're lucky. Bush will win the 2004...

After World War II? Highly unlikely. Egypt and Jordan would take the bulk of the refugees.

Making immigration a less ridiculous process is one thing, being against illegal aliens is another. Saying that the GOP is anti-immigrant for not pushing forth legal immigration reform is a bit of a stretch, especially since the Democrat party hasn't made any real overhauls to the legal...
