For God’s sake,let’s stop telling other countries
how to live their lives. They don’t need or want
our advice, No wonder they hate Americans. Maybe
we should solve our own problems first.

I agree. A good start would be if the correctness nazis would stop telling me how to live my life in the US.

AMEN. We have to CLEAN OUT our own house before we say anything to other countries.

I would tell the PC dictators to MYOB.

Uh... Snowden has asylum and homosexuals with their allies are being beaten in the streets of Russia under color of law. By celebrating the Olympics, we are endorsing what's going on there. Violence has not been an accepted legal response to homosexuals in the United States for decades and the Snowden asylum is intolerable.

With China there was a wink-and-nod that we were encouraging their progress towards Westernization but we also knew about their use of CG effects to make themselves look better and other issues like environmental concerns. There's no such pretext with Russia; it's in regression with Obama's "reset button" diplomacy a failure.

Obama's gotten this one wrong. He says our nation shouldn't boycott the Olympics but it's ok for him to cancel his meeting with Putin to express outrage? There's a disconnect, a very public one, that sends a muddled message and bespeaks of weakness, not strength. He's two-faced.
