Perhaps we should take a page from the book of Teddy Roosevelt. As the Senator will recall. in 1904. when Theodore Roosevelt was President. Moroccan bandits were active. One of the Moroccan bandits. named Raisuli. captured Tangier and seized several foreigners whom he held for ransom. One of the prisoners was a man named Ion H. Perdicaris. a native of Greece. who had become a naturalized citizen of the United States. In those days. the United States had some national honor. Teddy Roosevelt. through Secretary of State John Hay. sent what is perhaps the shortest message ever sent in diplomatic history.
