I wonder if people actually make use of a library anymore.

Well, I'm doing a formal research paper on the abdication of King Edward VIII. We're not allowed to use electronic sources of any kind. Only published material is allowed as a source. I shouldn't say we're not allowed to use any electronic sources, we can use information on the internet that is posted on the website of an accredited university.

Weapon, my main area of study are the world wars, so I haven't researched the vietnam war specifically, but you might be able to find some good information at historychanne.com They'll probably have some good background information.

He was a Christian humanist, therefore he probably lacked one.

well he had a wife and his lack of a sex drive might have led him to suicide (but that is speculation). it is quite an interesting thesis. i really enjoy research paapers.

Dear Mr.WorldWarGeneral...do you happen to know anything that proves that the bombing of Hiroshima on 1945 was a VERY wrong thing to do??......I have a debate on it coming up next week...

thanks for any help...

Well, lots of people died. Seriously, it's a tough call. One on hand, the war ended with fewer casualties than would have occurred if a ground invasion of Japan would have been undertaken. On the other, the bomb gave plenty of people radiation poisoning, which I'd imagine isn't a very pleasant way to die.

I can't think of much else off the top of my head. I'll try to dig some stuff up and I'll PM you when I have more information!
