Answer: General William Westmoreland
Details: President Lyndon Johnson appointed General William Westmoreland to replace General Paul Harkins as head of the United States Military Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV) in June, 1964.
The buildup of American military presence in Vietnam from 16,000 troops to over 500,000 troops occurred under Westmoreland's leadership, as well as President Johnson's initiative. The ongoing stalemate in Vietnam, in spite of those enormous troop increases, brought about much anti-war sentiment back home in the United States. Plenty of the dissatisfaction was aimed at General Westmoreland. In 1968, President Johnson replaced Westmoreland with General Creighton Abrams as head of MACV.
The correct answer is:
C. The spread of monotheism threatened meccas economy, which relied on the wealth of non-muslim pilgrims.
Explanation:
Muhammad (570-632 d.c) was the founder of the Islam, Muslims believe that he was God's last messenger, and that he was chosen to deliver the word of God. Muhammad's revelation occurred when he was 40 years old, and the following 13 years he faced great opposition from leaders in Mecca mainly because of his message of monotheism (one God).
Leaders in Mecca believed in many gods, and saw their power and economy threatened by Muhammad's words because his message stated equality and individual accountability to God. They feared that Muhammad could seek political power and that if people stopped worshipping their gods, the pilgrimages to Mecca that made them rich could stop too.
Election polling has evolved considerably since that inaugural issue. Perhaps most notably, there has been an explosion in the number of election polls in the United States. Traugott (2005) estimated a 900-percent increase in trial heat polls between 1984 and 2000. The number has continued to grow since then, due largely to the rise in interactive-voice-response (IVR) and Internet polls since the 2000 election.
