Ah, how delightful; an exhibition of Bushian diplomacy, demonstrating how to be respected and loved by others.

Do try working out which one of your adjectives does not necessarily apply. Consider how this attitude gains you allies in other walks of life, perhaps - especially as the same non-sequitur is often assumed for the same reasons.

If you ever do manage to compensate for the lack, work out where the fallacy lies in declaring war on somewhere because you believe it may someday be a military threat - not that it is now, or even realistically could be, but some day might be. Perhaps look at who's used this argument in the past and consider if that's really where you'd class yorselves.
