I believe you're thinking of the famous Johnstown flood in PA.

Right.

The interesting fact about the Youngstown flood is that the danger had always been there and everyone knew it. They'd had less severe floods prior to 1913. It wasn't until the 1913 flood brought the local industry to a standstill for several months, that the money suddenly became available to build the dams.

Make of that what you will.

When I look at Africa today I really cannot see where kicking out the colonists has done them much good.

If you are a woman in India today I guess you can count yourself free as long as rape does not upset you.

Any student of moden history can verify Churchill staunch opposition to Indian indepence while at the same time he was projecting freedom for Eastern Europe.

No nation is built over night.

Check the savage history of civilize Europe.

After reading Ms. Parker's other collumn, she come's out as an apologist for GW. Oh, well...I guess she's entitled. Not that I agree with her assessment of this president. Iraq overshadows any accomplishment that he may have made.

I'll give Bush's momma a little credit. She said we don't need any more Bush's.

She's my gal, but that op-ed piece is lame, sycophantic bullshit. I don't doubt Dubya's humanity, but his judgment and job performance were truly abysmal, among the worst of Presidents.
