No, I'm suffering from optimism that there might be a compromise solution that doesn't involve us completely alienating about 1/6th of the world's population. Oh, wait, you're right, that would be a fantasy.

We were so much more tolerable on the world scene when everyone was focused on the Soviets and our cowboy attitude actually worked to stabilize the world. Eric Lucas
