"Stand proud. Do not be afraid." That of course was my point.

You might have thought it your point. I see your view as cowardice. It is so perplexing to me how someone can see a confrontation, choose to stay home and watch it on TV and call that standing proud. I suppose we will not agree. I could never come to accept your view on this.

Nor I yours. I don't see how the President of the United States acting as a stage prop for the communist Chinese government's big authoritarian pageant is anything but unfortunate.
