>>deniers have yet to see its aftermath<<

We HAVE seen the aftermath of strutting and posturing and disrespectful backrubs to heads of state. I'm willing to give civility and respect a chance. So Obama's going to bend over and send F-22s to King Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz because he bowed? To the Arab world it simply shouts "respect for our culture". We'll show him what's what by weaning ourselves off oil.

The fact that the king needs that says more about him and his limitations than demonstrating any flaw of Obama's by giving it.

Quotes on Respect:

Mahatma Gandhi:
They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them.

Thomas Jefferson:
We confide in our strength, without boasting of it; we respect that of others, without fearing it.
