Life, Love, and Disaster

Analogy of early hand over to Iraq made by my government teacher:

"Surprise! Here's the key to the brand new car but you can't drive it...or you can drive around the block but you can't go anywhere else...or think of it as a learner's permit!"

The Monroe Doctrine explained by my government teacher:

"This is our pie, you have your pie. We won't take a piece of your pie and you can't take a piece of ours. If you try to take a piece of our pie, we will slap."
