I've noticed before that you tend to take diplomatic pronouncements at face value. I've noticed that you tend to turn things inside out until they look the way you want them, and if that makes black white, so be it.

It's the real opinions that you have to try to fathom by reading between the lines, and most of all, noticing actions more than words.

Your perceptions seem to come from Ha'aretz and Debka

IMO, the disrespect we permitted to grow in the Arab world has already affected us very badly.

The Arabs are 'dissin' us? No, I think they're being very diplomatic about the fact they don't want us using their countries as launching pads for our attack against Iraq and then getting the fullblown Iraq attack back.

It's very easy to call the US's foreign policy bad names, until you seriously compare it to any other country's foreign policy. Then, it looks positively altruistic by comparison.

There you go again trying to put words on me that have no basis in fact. I love this country and I don't want it to deteriorate into some renegade country that surrounds cities and uses children for target practice. Therefore, it's Bush's *cry for war* I'm against. As to foreign policy, we shall see what it will be. So far the verdict is out. Except, of course, in the lines you read between.
