Perhaps it is you who is wrong, and everyone else is sane. Besides, the NYT, that bastion of liberalism printed it. Then do you consider the NYT to be thrash.
Two premises in your note that are...well, wrong. I am among 80% of the world population who thinks the solution to Iraq is not war. SOOOO....maybe you are in the minority by a country mile. Secondly, the very fact that the NYT publishes stuff from folks like Safire, who is an avowed conservative, clearly disproves your disfunctional notion that the paper is a bastion of liberalism. If you want to see bias, ready the Wash Times, NY Post, listen to Fox and other Murdoch junk.
It would suggest that Russia, and China, as communist nations, are against capitalism and democracy, and anything that furthers democracy's expansion.
What is proves (more than suggests) is that nations can evolve peacefully.
Said in true yes but form. I would think that if you are trying to disavow yourself from being a yes but man, you would quit being one I don't know about your company, but I can say that the one guy I don't want being in charge of my crews, it is a yes but man. Nothing gets done, and time is money. Yes but men can only be followers, or in our business, laborers, the guy doing the manual labor, not the one doing the thinking.
Empty blather.....I suppose that answering my questions instead is a little harder.
