Apology Bill anniversary


Today is the anniversary of President Clinton's 1993 signing of the Apology for the United States' illegal invasion of Hawaii in 1893.



"...the logical consequences of this resolution would be independence."
- Senator Slade Gorton, US Senate Congressional Record

Update: BTW, as I have said before, I believe that the major error with the bill is that it was directed exclusively to "Native Hawaiians" when in fact the actions of the U.S. were a violation against the entire multi-ethnic population of Hawaiian subjects. It does appear that the bill was designed as a first step in the attempt to finally reclassify Native Hawaiians as a domestic dependent nation, which requires that one ignore the historical fact that the international crime was committed against the entire national population of a country, not just the "indigenous" subset of the population within that country.
