Maybe you should try reading something before you respond to it Tom. I clearly said that you didn't have to agree with what these nations are saying, only pay attention because others are listening. Often these people listening don't get your point of view. They have a very limited media source.

Do you truly believe that the drivel you posted, which is pretty much common knowledge to anyone that follows the news, somehow invalidates what I was saying? Man, you fall deeper and deeper into your own talking points every day.

Here, read my lips pal. Intelligent people have good listening skills and that includes input from sources that don't set right with you, that make you squirm, and feel uncomfortable. They don't invalidate the messages coming out of world leaders they don't care for without doing a bit of research into the ears that info is going into and what the possible outcome might be.

America's done some wonderful things for the world Tom, but we've laid some horrific stinkers as well. Until people like you start acknowledging that, there isn't a chance in Hell we'll ever have a life of peaceful coexistance with other humans. (note that last word)
