Almost as soon as West Germany, for instance, achieved its fondest desire, unification with East Germany, its economy and politics started going haywire, and the peace and prosperity that had resulted from surrender was over. The Senate's confirmation of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court was a putative win for the Bush Administration and the Republicans, but it was anti-Thomas backlash a year later that elected a squadron of Democratic women...
