Our goal should be not to be hated by everyone. That is wrong. Our goal should be to know what is in the best interest of the nation and its people. Reacting to threats to national security with growls instead of swift and lethal bites is a sign of weakness; this becomes an open invitation to anybody who would like to take over the real estate. > Do you >even understand the difference in your black-and-white worldview? > >It's called diplomacy, and we used to be reasonably good at it-- No, we weren't. Europe always thought we were crude because we got things done with no finesse. >getting what >we want, while at the same time maintaining enough respect in other >countries that we don't foment terrorism. No one nor no nation earns respect if they keep backing down and shy away from doing the unlovable things. /BAH

You are listening to so-called popular opinion of people who are getting the ear of broadcasters such as the BBC. These people who are bitching about hating the US are aping the Islamic extremists and not representing the statesmen or rulers of their country. /BAH

Someone gouged out >their eyes, but it was right after they were fed a huge load of >bullshit. I think it's normal for humans to try to avoid nasty things. It is normal to try to pretend that a bad thing didn't happen. Those who learn to cope with new changes will survive. Those who don't learn to cope, will not survive unless they are lucky. This luck depends on having enough people in their vicinity who can cope with the change. /BAH
