Kerry is the most incompetent leader in our government. Are you sure about this statement? YOu and I know very well that not only security in the country is in a sorry state of affairs, but also the state of affairs in the White HOuse is also very bad. To date, even the White House does not know who over there leaked the name of the CIA agent to the press. Is this competence or incompetence by your judgement. I have taken a statement you made. I have cited a specific instance and asked you a question. I hope you will have the guts to take this discussion on headlong. Else keep off the rhetoric from this thread and leave us to have a healthy discussion. There are many other threads where you can take your rhetoric. But on the other hand, I would welcome you to take part on this thread minus the rhetoric. You make a statement, back it up.

Jewel, you actually may have a point. It is a good example of the scalability of human behavior. A social mandelbrot set of sorts. In a dysfunctional family, if one family member tries to break the chain of dysfunction, the family members will resist and will attempt very strongly to bring that family member back into their familial role. And of course, it will be hard to resist the pressures of the "family". The other countries have never liked the idea that the US has tried to break away from the old family dynamic of not taking responsibility for their actions and expecting the state to take care of their needs/wants/desires, which of course requires giving more and more power to the state and giving up more an more rights. From your example, at least it looks like Kerry plays to lose.
