Aizawa Seishisai (1782-1863) said of of barbarians from the West that we are always "trampling other countries underfoot, and daring...to override other nations." He demands, "What manner of arrogance is this?" And, he comments that "...it stands to reason that the Westerners...by overstepping their bounds, are inviting their own eventual downfall..." This does sound familiar in terms of Iraq?

I asked Dr. Notehelfer about the second bomb in Japan. Was it necessary? He said, "Yes," and added that someone he knew at West Point told him that, actually, nine bombs were planned. I cannot agree with the good scholar, but students of mine whose parents are Japanese told them that it had to be done. What do the rest of you think?

I thought exploding a bomb on an uninhabited island would be enough. No one seems to agree with me. And, where's all our thunder now that Georgia has been invaded?
