	Philip H. Gordon - Air Power Won't Do It - washingtonpost.com

		The theory behind that invasion was that an American show of force to remove Saddam Hussein would so impress the region's populations (and frighten its dictators) that it would produce a chain reaction of democratization all the way to Palestine.
		Critics who worried that Iraqis would quickly come to resent and challenge the seemingly all-powerful American occupiers -- or that outside actors such as Iran or Syria would seek to undermine Iraq's stability -- were accused of an almost un-American historical pessimism.

	Cool Air Power \| Banks Power: Cool Air Equals Power by C.J. Baker

		For example, it is not uncommon for air to increase up to 50º F. passing through the radiator and air conditioning condenser on a late model vehicle.
		The hot vapor engine made incredible power and was highly efficient, responsive, surprisingly emissions clean, and delivered fuel economy of 45-50 MPG in a compact car, and it did it all without computers, smog pumps or catalytic converters.

		This was possibly the first time that such skilled use of visual description had been placed at the service of an abstract political argument.
		After its release and re-release in 1943 and 1944, the film received no theatrical release for sixty years, perhaps because it was blatant propaganda, or perhaps because it was deemed offensive to Germans and Japanese.
