"For a century and a half now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times." -- George W. Bush to Japanese lawmakers
So President Bush (I), in a great show of respect for his Japanese counterpart, vomits into the Japanese Prime Minister's lap. His son, President Bush (II), calls our 150-year involvement in Japan to be a "great and enduring alliance", neglecting that it was started 149 years ago by our steaming 4 gunships into their major port, was punctuated by war against each other, and included us removing the divinity of their Emperor. Lovely.
