36. The pardoning of Nixon et. al. by Gerald Ford.

Edited on Fri Apr-10-09 11:51 PM by krispos42

Reagan's abuses, GHWB's abuses, and GWB's abuses all stem from that "oh, let's look FORWARD now" mentality.

Dubya came uncomfortably close to dropping nukes. The next authoritarian Bush-wannabe might actually do the damn thing!

Alternative answer: Operation Ajax, the overthrow of the Iranian government back in the '50s. With no hostage crisis, Carter wins a 2nd term in 1980, we're leader in clean energy, and corporatism and free-trade have a major setback. We're still a unionized manufacturing country with the wealthy elite of this country under control, not out of control.
