More From Bruce Feiler

I remember my very first encounter with japan. at that time, i was deputy mayor of st petersburg. out of nowhere, japan's consul general in st petersburg came to my office and said japan's ministry of foreign affairs wanted to invite me to japan. i was very surprised because i had nothing to do with japan except being a judoka. this was an opportunity to visit tokyo and a couple of other cities. and, you know, a capital is a capital everywhere: there is the official script and certain protocol. it is always easier to talk in the provinces, the conversation is more natural.

In the islamic world, the u.s. is seen in two quite different ways. one view recognizes what an extraordinary country the u.s. is.the other view is of the official united states, the united states of armies and interventions. the united states that in 1953 overthrew the nationalist government of mossadegh in iran and brought back the shah. the united states that has been involved first in the gulf war and then in the tremendously damaging sanctions against iraqi civilians. the united states that is the supporter of israel against the palestinians.

It was not the united states who invaded kuwait; it was iraq. it was not the united states that went to war with iran; it was iraq. it was not the united states that fired chemical weapons at iran; it was iraq. and it was not the united states that murdered innocent iraqi citizens with chemical weapons; it was iraq.

I was never educated to be an actor. i went to a regular college. it was a great thing for me because i feel that the main thing to get out of college is a thirst for knowledge. college should teach you how to be curious. most people think that college is the end of education, but it isn't. the ceremony of giving you the diploma is called commencement. and that means you are fit to commence learning because you have learned hot to learn.

I was never on a mission to be an nfl quarterback. i wanted to be a good high school player, and i worked hard at that. that made me good enough to play in college and then i wanted to be a good college quarterback. during college i played well enough to make it into the nfl. i never took it for granted and really wanted to play hard at each level and i have always had a lot of fun doing what i wanted to do.

Japan became an imperialist country in many ways, but that was much later, after it had already made big progress. i don’t think japan’s wealth was based on exploiting china. japan’s wealth was based on its expansion in international trade.

I don't think there's a lot of dispute for this. you can argue that we didn't get everything done that we wanted to get done, but i can make a really strong argument, and i think prove, that by almost every measure the country's better off now than when i started.
Country Strong Thinking
America can be a very hysterical country intellectually and very puritanical, too. you probably have fun in private, but to the rest of the world you seem to hate fun - to be big on agendas and short on spontaneity. the image you present is one of appalling conformity. the thought police is what you are ruled by.
Country Fun Hate
Saddam hussein, influenced by fascism, ordered the deaths of tens of thousands of people, fought two disastrous wars, turned his nation into an international pariah and ruined his country’s economy. in other words, his record is identical to george w. bush’s.
Country War Two
We tell our kids that policemen are good and god protects us and our country is noble, and at a certain point - and for some it comes quite early, five or six years old - we start to realize that it's all a facade.
