comment Why did the United States attack Iraq and Afghanistan, but not Iran?
I would consider this on topic over at Politics.SE (I'm a mod), but I can't say I'd actually want this one as written. A less polemic writing (e.g. "What are the factors that led the US to invade Iraq and Afghanistan but not the US?")

comment Is the USA Congress explicitly patterned after the British Parliament?
Re: Direct election to the upper house. The Senate was much closer to the House of Lords originally, in that state legislatures- not ordinary citizens, selected senators. In the 1900s, however, the 17th amendment changed tat, making them directly elected. (and killing federalism in the process, but I digress)

As Yannis correctly points out, Nigeria has had much more instability and civil war than the United States.
