He has an e-mail on the bottom of the article if you'd like to ask him if he has thought that part through. I didn't see a mention of being "liked". There are many ways to drive wedges between groups of people. It's a well-practiced art in our politics here. I mostly enjoyed reading it to see the perspective of people in other NATO countries. I've never been much concerned with being liked on a personal level, much less as a national concern. Military strength brings a certain kind of respect. Providing food brings a certain kind of respect. Strangers have fed me when I was hungry. Some I "liked", some I didn't. But I did respect them for the gesture and the time and food they gave. I would say that I don't see the Muslim world as one entity. There are separate nations, a diverse view of Islam, and individuals. Focus on what we "can" make a difference with, and use it to drive the wedge. And, no, I have no details. I'm still trying to understand about the thickness of the walls around nuclear plants.
