A Chinese Monroe Doctrine?

You could get a Marilyn Monroe sandwich.

Interestingly, Stanley Milgram and I were in the same high school class in James Monroe in the Bronx, 1954.

A 1948 Ford Mercury passed through a group of onlookers in rural Monroe, Georgia, and rumbled toward the small Moore's Ford Bridge.

According to FBI files obtained by NBC News, more than 50 men from Monroe and the surrounding counties were suspected in the lynching.

Marilyn Monroe is just as beautiful on the screen as she was in person, and our many young people think she's still alive.

For him, the reenactment serves as a dramatic call to action and an annual reminder to the Monroe community that an injustice has never been corrected.

Russians are justified, I believe, in their view that the West took advantage of Russia s post communist weakness to encroach on their country s historic space. The Monroe Doctrine may be incompatible with contemporary international law but all powers strong enough to enforce a strategic sphere of interest do so.

And, unlike Asian countries, America would not really suffer from a Chinese Monroe Doctrine declaring that China would not accept any outside intervention in Asia. But America s neutrality on sovereignty disputes threatens to undermine its bilateral security alliances (which, by preventing countries like Japan from turning toward militarism, actually serve Chinese interests).

To this end, China has created a vast Air Defense Identification Zone covering most of the East China Sea including territories claimed and controlled by Japan and South Korea where it has also declared disputed territories to be part of its own exclusive economic zone. These unilateral moves resemble the announcement by the United States in 1823 of what became known as the Monroe Doctrine, which, among other things, placed Latin America within a strictly US sphere of influence.
