> I understand where you're coming from.

Thank you. It's definitely better than "who give a hoot what the world thinks" kind of reponses I've received.

> We're not the most loved nation on the planet. And this has been covered over and over again. We're hated...but we're also the first asked for help. The "damned if you do, damned if you don't" argument.

Kind of similar to the US laws on Monopoly. You've got to tread carefully.

> It would be helpful if everyone figured that out. Like us or not...we have to be dealt with...and this terrorist activity will only piss us off...and pissing us off can be very dangerous. I've a feeling you'll see just how dangerous in a very short time.

Hopefully that will not be necessary.
