Just a few clarifications on this Mr Thompson. While I agree that this lady "asked for it" I was curious about a few minor details in your view. Was it the "waffling" that you perceive Obie doing that bothers you or the fact that he does not take the "clear stance" that you believe should be taken? What is the correct "clear stance" that he should take towards Egypt? My opinion? I think the less we (gov) say publicly about events like this the better. I base this on my limited experience with basic human nature. Just as this lady butted in to the guy's conversation, US butting in on Egypt or any other country with our comments and recommendations has the same effect. It tends to piss people off. How is that foreign policy so different than what happened in the restaurant? I have even less foreign policy experience than Obie. (that is my nickname for him...a little less nasty I think) This is just one nobody's opinion. Could you point out the waffle? (just so I am clear on that) I realize he was a bit "behind the curve" in some of his responses, but it was a rapid, real time complicated situation. What SHOULD the perfect, clear stance leader have done and said regarding uprisings in other countries? (just so I know who to vote for next time) No, I didn't vote for him. What is our role? What would you have said? Just curious. -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
