and appointing the featured guest of this documentary as our ambassador was one of the few good things JFK ever did:

Reischauer was appointed US Ambassador to Japan by President John F. Kennedy in the spring of 1961, at a time when US-Japan relations were at a low point following the massive 1960 protests in Japan against the US-Japan Security Treaty.[8] In the immediate aftermath of the protests, Reischauer had traveled to Japan and spoken with various Japanese friends and associates to get a Japanese point of view on the protests.[9] After returning to the United States, Reischauer attracted the attention of Kennedy's transition team when he wrote an article about the protests in the prominent policy journal Foreign Affairs called "The Broken Dialogue with Japan." In this article Reischauer rejected the notion, put forth by the Eisenhower administration, that the protests had been a communist plot. Instead, he argued that the protests reflected real grievances on the part of the Japanese in relation to US, and were exacerbated by a failure by American leaders to reach out to Japanese opinion leaders and try to understand Japanese concerns. Reischauer argued forcefully that only skillful and nuanced diplomacy could repair this "broken dialogue."[9]

On the advice of his advisors, Kennedy decided that Reischauer himself would be the best candidate for the job, and nominated Reischauer to be his first (and only) ambassador to Japan. This was a break with precedent, because previous ambassadors to Japan had been career State Department officials who had no special connection with Japan.[8] In fact, State Department officials viewed strong connections with an ambassador's host country with suspicion and opposed Reischauer's nomination on these grounds.[8] However, Kennedy prevailed and Reischauer became the first US ambassador to Japan who actually knew the local language.

As Ambassador, Reischauer worked to repair the recent rift in US-Japan relations. Reischauer made "equal partnership" the watchword of his time as ambassador, and constantly pushed for more equal treatment of Japan.[10] He advocated and helped arrange a summit meeting between Kennedy and new Japanese prime minister Hayato Ikeda in Washington, D.C. in the summer of 1961. Historian Nick Kapur has argued that this summit was a success, and led to a substantial realignment of the US-Japan alliance in the direction of greater mutuality.[11] Reischauer hoped to return the favor by having Kennedy become the first sitting US president to visit Japan. Kennedy was agreeable, and initial preparations were made, but Kennedy was assassinated before he could make the visit and Secretary of State Dean Rusk went in his place in early 1964.[12] Reischauer also embarked on a nationwide listening tour in Japan; although he did not reach his goal of visiting all 47 prefectures by the end of his time in office, he did manage to visit 39 of them.[13] Reischauer's great efforts to charm the Japanese people were jocularly nicknamed the "Reischauer Offensive" (Raishawā rosen) by the Japanese press (sometimes alternatively, the "Kennedy-Reischauer Offensive").[13]

My first attempt at rolling a blunt was terrible but I've gotten the hang of it. They burn slower, and the tobacco is a nice addition to the high. Plus I feel like a gangsta rapper. The downside is that they stink and they're harder to roll than joints. Right now it's

in 1943 the nazis set up a secret weather monitoring station in canada (or the greater UK territories, i guess, cause at the time the place wasn't part of canada). weather goes west to east in the atlanta ocean, so the allies were the only ones who could get long term weather info for planning purposes. the nazis snuck in to canadian wilderness and set it up just...out in the open. they labeled things CANADIAN GUBMENT STUFF and threw american cigarette packs around to further hide that it was them and not an allied weather station. it all worked so well no one even found it until 1977 (or if anyone happened to find it before then no one cared or told anyone or acknowledged it). when it was found everyone assumed it was an allied military thing and ignored it. in 1981 some guy decided to finally ask someone in the canadian goverment/military. so this nazi weather station was there for nearly 40 years without anyone realizing. they apparently only got like a weeks worth of weather reports before it stopped working. the weather station is now prominently displayed in a museum as it's the one contribution canada made to world war 2. and sure it was a contribution for the nazis but it's all canada has to brag about!!

BUT WHAT ABOUT JUNO BEACH EH YA HOSER HOCKEY TIM HORTONS i hear you impotently screech in candian. yeah, what about it? the candians had a nice trip to the beach that day while americans did the actual fighting.

I just went over the comments. Apparently as per genetic tracking it shows that Aryans definitely came into India 100 generations ago, and that 100 generations is a long enough time that pretty much all Indian populations have some Aryan DNA. Yet, somehow, there are groups of Indians who will claim that the Aryans were invaders and you don't count as Indian even if you have been here for 100 generations.

I don't know of any other country on the planet where you could have been staying there for 100 generations, have your genes spread out across the entire population, and still be considered outsiders who destroyed the land.
