Shanghai, China 2005
I went to Shanghai in the early Summer of of 2005 as
part of a work trip and had a bit of time on the side to explore the city and the stunningly profound
transformation it's undergone since my first visit back
in 1993. I really do feel privileged to have had
the opportunity to see firsthand how this city has
morphed from a backwards Communist mess to a world class
metropolis.

""Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and
so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our
people, and neither do we."
"I want to thank the astronauts who are with us,
the courageous spacial entrepreneurs who set such a wonderful example for the
young of our country."
"Had we to do it over again, we would look at the
consequences of catastrophic success, being so successful so fast that an enemy
that should have surrendered or been done in escaped and lived to fight another
day."
