"There's no foreign force in the whole world strong enough to subdue America unless the corruption and the timidity of her own people first force her to her ruin."

For the brave navigator it was the culmination of years of bold speculation, careful preparation, and struggle against opponents who had belittled his great plan and thwarted its execution. "Expounding the strange doctrine that beyond the ocean stood solid, habitable earth, Columbus had first to make his views plausible to his doubting patrons and then to overcome the seemingly endless array of obstacles with which men of little minds barred the way to the fitting out of a fleet. Even when the three small ships were well away on their epoch-making course the crews mutinied and demanded that he turn back. Columbus, however, held to his course and on the morning of October 12, 1492, the welcome land was sighted. "The courage and the faith and the vision of the Genoese navigator glorify and enrich the drama of the early movement of European people to America. Columbus and his fellow voyagers were the harbingers of later mighty movements of people from Spain, from Columbus's native Italy and from every country in Europe. And out of the fusion of all these national strains was created the America to which the Old World contributed so magnificently." - Franklin D. Roosevelt
With all of the political correctness gone totally insane as it relates to Christopher Columbus, I thought we should be reminded of his great accomplishment. One could make the claim that there has been no man whose actions did more to change the face of the world in its entire history (save perhaps the unknown inventors of agriculture or the wheel).

In her article just released in the Washington Post, Angelina Jolie states:
"Today's humanitarian crisis in Iraq -- and the potential consequencesfor our national security -- are great. Can the United States afford togamble that 4 million or more poor and displaced people, in the heartof Middle East, won't explode in violent desperation, sending thewhole region into further disorder?
"What we cannot afford, in my view, is to squander the progress that has been made. In fact, we should step up our financial and material assistance". - Angelina Jolie
