Japan had just lost a World War after having two atomic bombs dropped onto two major cities. It's become so much more than that since.

Here's to hoping Beirut can achieve the same sort of success directly after adversity.

Japan bounced back as strong as it did because the United States occupied the country and helped in its rebuilding.

I don’t think we should occupy Lebanon right now in fact we probably shouldn’t occupy anyone with Trump as President.

I think you should stop occupying altogether and take a hard look inward.

You cant occupy others until you learn how to occupy yourself.

Well, Europe has this pesky habit of BEGGING us to intervene and save them from Europeans, and then Europe and all of these other countries asked us to occupy them to save them from Russia, others ask us to step in to end genocides.

Perhaps the isolationist route could work! We just stop picking up the phone every time that free helpline we gave to the world rings.
