Mr. Moderator, I started this thread, and I was merely commenting on a post that someone had added to the thread I started. My points being that the following statement by Pietro:

"If somebody is so proud of his country that he can not even travel without an American (or any other national) flag, than have the courage and the coherence to face the consequence of his action."

........didn't make alot of sense. I understand that he had a limited sense of English grammar, but still, it didn't make sense. Based on my first thread, I never said that I couldn't handle what happened to me (Pietro's courage comment)...I dealt with it, I assure you.

As for Jenny's comment, it's all good, but I was just saying that not ALL of our foreign policy has been crap. Some of the countries that have gotten the blunt end of the stick (Iran, Syria, Iraq (invading Kuwait) etc....) have in the past acted aggressively and thereby deserved a good slap upside the head, by the big kid on the block. But I'm in no way saying the GW has done anything right since he's been in office (including the Iraq war). And, the stick should have been wielded by the WORLD, not just the U.S. We are on this planet together.

I would also ask the court that a bit of leeway be given in the conversation. So we stumbled off subject a bit, no harm, no foul. It's a pleasant conversation, as if we were all sitting in a pub talking about the subject. I'll be waiting on your ruling your honor.
