With supreme irony, the war to "make the world safe for democracy" ended by leaving democracy more unsafe in the world than at any time since the collapse of the revolutions of 1848

The irony is we went way out of the world and had to learn worldly skills to survive out there. What people who understand us discover is we have experts is every field of human endeavor.

We want to make sure the World War II guys and the Korean (War) guys see that the museum is completed.

This could possibly be the worst period of Sino-Japanese relations since World War II.

It is the oldest ironies that are still the most satisfying: man, when preparing for bloody war, will orate loudly and most eloquently in the name of peace.

Personally I am haunted by the irony that someone like Sheila, whose message to the world was all about nurturing, could have a child who would shoot her.
