you are dishonest as most can see

You are being childish. Your saying so doesn't make it so.

Assume to responsibility of proving the reality of your insult. Show WHERE I have been dishonest, if you can.

If not, apologize.

You see, decent people don't insult each other thus unless they can back those accusations. For example, I would not call you an "idiot" unless I actually had evidence that your mental capacity is below normal.

you said, "I don't agree with the policies of the current US administration. No, that does not mean I resent the US or Americans in general.", and yet OMD had given you direct quotes from over 13 American politicians from both parties over a span of 6 years who agreed Saddam was a threat and possessed WMD

Can you understand the difference between opinion (i.e. thoughts) and policy (i.e. a course of action)?

"Saddam is dangerous" is an OPINION. Many people thought so, including myself.

"Let's invade Iraq and to hell with what happens afterwards" is POLICY. That is what I don't agree with.

Do you understand now?

As for the rest of the post - You are wrong, of course. As I said, I don't hate America, I don't hate Americans, there is no lemming mentality that I follow, and there certainly is no weakness in question.

All that is, well, just your prejudice.
