The Treaty Of Versailles And The League Of Nations
.... not stop them. They did this to Germany because it was only humanitary to the other nations that were destroyed. The impact of this treaty was good for the allied nations. President Woodrow Wilson played an important role in drafting the treaty. I feel that he did a good job in seeing that the treaty was carried out and that everyone that agreed to it followed it.

.... and social policies, the company seemingly has done little. The importance of Nigeria's oil to Shell cannot be underestimated, accounting for almost 14% of the company's production which equates to the greatest production outside of the USA.

The Socratic Logos
.... of the Meno is the search for a definition of virtue. However, Meno and Socrates are unable to find one because Meno first attempts to give some characteristics of virtue, but is unable to do so because he cannot list all the aspects that are a part of virtue.

Because a gas .....

The Situation In Kosovo

But what about Kosovo? What about our sons, daughters, husbands, wives, fathers, and mothers that are being sent over there? Aren’t they just as important as the students at Columbine High? I would certainly say they are!
