Well, I am sorry for being a troll. It's my first time; I won't do it again.

I will say one thing, though, writing that remark helped realize a point that BluffTHIS! tried to make to me once. I made a point about our relationship with Israel and He said that 'we have a right to support any nation that we want.' And I thought, 'what does this have to do with anythign?'

I now realize that if we accept Al Qaida's condemnation of our relationship with Israel we are giving them the right to dictate our foreign policy.

Now, personally, I don't agree with that, mainly because, I find that the concepts modern nationhood and freedom to be two mutually exclusive ideas. But if you begin with his premise that America is a free and soverign nation then you must accept that the said statement is logicaly sound. Very sophisticated as well. I respect him for having such a logical and sophisticated idea.
