It has been a very long time since I was there, but when I was it was a
very beautiful place. The beach near Agana (sp?) looked like what Diamond
Head and Waikiki must have looked like before tourists discovered it and
ruined it.

On the down side I remember being accosted by a monstrous cockroach the
size of my foot that could fly!  :(

"Anti-Zionism = Anti-Semitism"
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
". . . You declare, my friend, that you do not hate the Jews, you are
merely 'anti-Zionist.' And I say, let the truth ring forth from the high
mountain tops, let it echo through the valleys of God's green earth: When
people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews--this is God's own truth.
Antisemitism, the hatred of the Jewish people, has been
and remains a blot on the soul of mankind. In this we are in full
agreement. So know also this: anti-Zionist is inherently antisemitic, and
ever will be so..."

Golda Meir once said, "There will never be peace until the
Palestinians love their children more than they hate us."
