New Re: As usual - balanced well reasoned logic ...

Any country that takes exception to the leak is just too sensitive for its own good (read: using the news to rattle sabres rather than accept mutual reality).

US may be making some diplomatic screw-ups (this obsession with Saddman Hussien) but there is some sense in letting world know that US is not always 'touch-feely', nor should be.

Jimmy Carter's 'touch-feely' policies did the US no 'real' good whatsoever. Reagan's 'teflon' president approach to tough international action was the basis for collapse of USSR. I don't like his support for some S American governments but he won in the long run. In fact, I suspect Bush is doing his best to copy Reagan.

New Bush 2 imitates Reagan?
An admirable goal, but he hardly has the personality to carry it off. A puppy-dog look and stilted speeches doth not a good Reagan imitation make.

(Listening to his speech this morning, it never fails to amaze me how bad both he and his father are at delivering speeches.)
