Ian - I believe you make extremely good point here. It is true that the
media uses a broad brush by continually repeating the American or
anti-American stance on anything and everything. Everyone should be much
more careful in this regard. I agree that for most of the world the
anti-American stance generally means an anti-American Government posture. We
need to clarify ourselves continually on this matter.
In fact - many Americans have an anti-Bush Government stance and they too
are accused of being Anti-American. The anti-Bush position is promoted by
the Bush officials as being anti-American and/or unpatriotic, this is
leading much of the world to view that government as dictatorial and
hypocritical. Gradually many are recognizing that the Bush Group is
completely unfamiliar with diplomacy. It's high noon and he's John Wayne.
When you ask others to do your gun slinging you should first be an expert in
diplomacy. The Bush group are not.
As for your constant attention to the wrongs and how many times you remind
every to keep watch - this is a must. When one stops watching the magicians'
hands one can expect to be tricked. Keep reminding us to watch the
magicians' hands.
