Ouch [Jonah Goldberg]
This is from a Canadian:This week the US “is prepared to provide Iran with some nuclear technology if it stops enriching uranium, diplomats said Tuesday”.
And if I understand correctly you’re deciding on whether or not to give Hawaii away.
All this in addition to having a debate as to the extent foreigners will be able to freely enter your country and receive various types of benefits, and having a debate about the extent to which they will be encouraged to do so.
Were you invaded? Is surrender on the horizon? If so, can I have the Upper Peninsula of Michigan? I could sneak in from another country, I have some Native North American blood, and I’ll demand assistance in developing nuclear technology. No senator could reasonably object.
Thanks

No man can be a Politician, except he be first an Historian or a Traveller; for except he can see what Must be, or what May be, he is no Politician: Now, if he have no knowledge in story, he cannot tell what hath been; and if he that not been a Traveller, he cannot tell what is: but he that neither knoweth what hath been, nor what is; can never tell what must be, or what may be.
