Come on. What we say publicly and privately are two different things. I would never expect the public statemtn to be, "Kill the Bastards!"
Well, whatever we have been "saying privately" for decades isn't getting the job done or the conflict resolved.
I know. You're right of course. I just wish for once someone in the political arena would do away with the diplomacy for the masses bit and just tell it like it is. Wishful thinking on my part. Someone doesn't have to say "Kill Em All". Just come out and give them approval without all the pussyfooting around.
