You would think that Republican administrations could learn something about other people's sovereignty and rights, particularly Richard M. Nixon.

VPOTUS Richard Nixon's USSS-protected motorcade was attacked in 1958 by angry Venezuelans 15 years prior to 9/11/1973:







Three years later Nixon as a private citizen saw the spectacular failure of the Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961.

For years I suspected that Osama bin-Laden selected Tuesday, 9/11/2001 as the attack date for two reasons: 1) NORAD alternates between a US and Canadian air force general every day. On Tuesday 11 Sep a Canadian general was in charge; 2) the 11 Sep 1973 Allende coup.

But we'll never know because Seal Team Six did not capture Osama Bin Laden alive.
