the soviet union was very much so brought down by the us.
the us funding of a man called "osama bin laden" who was an ultranationalist that hated the soviet presence in afghanistan was detrimental to the ussr. the financial cost the ussr was put in contributed heavily to its fall.
then the us let afghanistan deal with its own problems and the country was left to rot. watch charlie wilsons war, its a true story.

For starters, they had no rights whatsoever under the constitution to secede.

By this reasoning, the Declaration of Independence was treason.
The Declaration was treason. Treason that resulted in a better country. And I'm sure most black people would be rather partial to the idea that the Civil War was a good thing.

It was not treason it was law that they could accoding to the Proclamation Regarding Nullification.

http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/pr...ons/jack01.htm

President Jackson's Proclamation Regarding Nullification, December 10, 1832(1)

http://www.teachingamericanhistory.o...sp?document=67

This right to secede is deduced from the nature of the Constitution,

This gave them the right to secede. They certainly had the right according to this.

I do think it was justified treason, against a corrupt and totalitarian government. Besides, the early United States was not perfect, and neither is any nation in history or in the future.

BTW, what is so wrong with Bush?

He provided us with a steady economy for 7 years, and stood fast in the face of public pressure to run from crazy, radical Muslims with guns and bombs far inferior to our own. How is this bad?
