This is what happens when Washington refuses to level with Americans, and rather treats us as children, whom must neither be seen or heard. Double edge sword that will cut us all to pieces, if it keeps up.

Self justification; much as a child would do. The fault was not with the administration. They were consistently on message describing what the deal involved, why it did not compromise security and the benefits of stroking an ally. They cannot be blamed if the children reacted emotionally and ignored the facts. But, isn't that what children do?

“They were consistently on message describing what the deal involved, why it did not compromise security and the benefits of stroking an ally.”

The same way the Administration is “consistently on message” about “guest worker programs,” citizenship for illegals, etc?

The problem is more about whether we can afford to trust our supposed “allies.” Remember, we are not dealing with a western mindset... that, IMHO, is the crux of the matter.

But, I guess we must agree to disagree.
