I just wish we didn't live in a system that forces him to genuflect to the ignorance and passions of the herd for votes. It's sets up a bad precedent, and an expectation for action which he cannot take and which would in the long run be counter productive.

The frogs and kruats are not our allies and neither is the left. Yeah they can side with China but they will no longer be allies, and Bush made that clear through sanctions and not sharing any more military technology with the EU. Your "shades of gray" argument is moot.

Obi-Wan's line about being loyal to democracy is stupid for a zeal for narrow absolutism, and false dichotomies is something historically democratic majorities share with Sith lords.

Well if that makes me a Sith lord then I am proud of it.

Fine so long as you relize that it isn't conservatism you are advocating but absolutism.
