Upcoming Appearance
Tuesday, February 10, 2004  Saturday, January 17, 2004 The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is in extending our commercial relations to have as little political connection as possible... Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalships, interest, humor, or caprice?... It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.
-- George Washington, Farewell Address [September 19, 1796]
