- George Herbert Walker Bushfrom his memoir, "A World Transformed" (1998)Trying to eliminate Saddam...would have incurred incalculable human and political costs. Apprehending him was probably impossible.... We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq.... there was no viable "exit strategy" we could see, violating another of our principles. |

- The Japan TimesIshihara unrepentant over slur Koreans asked to be ruled by Japan, governor insists An unrepentant Tokyo Gov. Shintaro Ishihara on Friday reiterated claims that Koreans had chosen Japanese rule rather than face Chinese or Russian governance when Japan annexed the Korean Peninsula in 1910. Speaking at a regular news conference, Ishihara again claimed that political leaders on the Korean Peninsula had made the decision to accept Japanese rule, which lasted until Japan's defeat in World War II in 1945. According to Ishihara, Japan ruled its colony in a better fashion than Western nations, such as France, the Netherlands and the United States.Ugh. |

- Updated 1-Nov-2003. It is hard to believe that our class held it's graduation nearly 40 years ago. My family moved to Connecticut after graduation so I have not been back to the Awalt campus since I graduated, and imagine it has changed a lot. In the 60's there were actually some orange groves bordering the back end of the school. I'm sure there are no groves left. |
