Introduction	Rorik Strindberg is a junior at San Diego State University studying history. Strindberg sees history as the best manner for interpreting the future. Many of his articles have a historical base to their reasoning. Politically Strindberg would consider himself as a Classic Liberal, being socially and politically liberal, a fiscal conservative, and in foreign policy a Liberal Internationalist. Strindberg signed the Euston Manifesto. Strindberg strongly supports any robust action to stop the genocide in Darfur. Strindberg is a confirmed Roman Catholic, who believes that religion must maximize its benefit for society. Religion provides many positives for society, but also is a cause of hostility among peoples. The event that effects Strindberg’s thinking the most is the fall of communism, repressing a triumph of the efficiency of a free society. Wile the fall of communism eliminated one major obstacle to a democratic world, other alternatives will arise. the world and mankind in general.
