That's the difference between CURRENT EVENTS and HISTORY. I wonder how many American students know anything at all about the background of WWII--such as the war going on in China--if they didn't get it from Ben Affleck movies? Yes, I could say the same thing for the Japanese students. Unfortunately for the current situation, most Americans know nothing whatsoever about the first Persian Gulf War or all the background to it. If history teaches you, however, that war is a solution of first resort, you have a very sad future in front of you. Charles Jannuzi
