		John Hanson was not the "first president of the United States." John Hanson has not been purged from history books by a wave of revisionist historians who refuse to acknowledge his true importance to American history.
		And John Hanson couldn't possibly have been the "first president of the United States," because neither the office of President of the United States nor the nation known as the United States of America was created until after he was dead.
		John Hanson was far from an insignificant figure in American history, but if few Americans know that he was the first person chosen to preside over Congress under the Articles of Confederation, the primary reason is that the office wasn't one of much importance.

		John Hanson became "president" in 1781 -- nine years before Washington -- under the Articles of Confederation, which was America's "constitution" before it had a Constitution.
		Indeed, it is difficult to know where his indignity at an injustice toward John Hanson ends, and his self promotional zeal begins.
		Nick believes that the reason people don't know about John Hanson is not because John Hanson is a hopelessly arcane footnote in American history, but because the government doesn't want you to know about John Hanson.

		This piece is more like an elegy for a dying friend, for a once-powerful human reduced to a final pathetic whimper.
		Hanson: I am sorry if the tone was exclusively pessimistic; it was intended as minatory, a warning that we have a large segment of our population that has given up and wants to lose the war as some sort of corrective to the perceived evil of the United States.
		I should add that British forces in Basra are quite effective soldiers and would never have surrendered to anyone; likewise millions of Americans are angry at the war not over its supposed immorality but because we are not using our full resources to win an ethical conflict.
