I have no intention of debating U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East with anyone. It’s not an area that I know enough about to debate and it doesn’t really bear upon the subject I was discussing.

It is pertinent to my point.

My point being, and I shouldn’t have to explain it as obvious as it is, is that the religious background of the presidents makes little difference in U.S. foreign policy.

My contention that it is and it is directly responsible for the eradication of Christian Catholics in the Middle East. The last few Protestants perpetrated it and the current either Protestant or more like Muslim is upping the ante.

Thank you, we are in agreement then but that really has nothing to say about whether the aforesaid is accurate in what it says reflecting Catholic belief and practice. If it is not I’m sure you can point that out.

My practice is to go to the USCCB or Vatican website if I am in doubt.

What effect(if any) the religious background of the President (and his staff) has on foreign policy would make for an interesting debate since it seems you’ve given a good deal of thought to the subject.
I simply don’t have much to contribute that would be of any value and thus I’ll have to step back.

“It is pertinent to my point.”

I understand it is but you can understand why I don’t want to comment on areas a way beyond my knowledge.

Cheers, it was a pleasure jousting with you! We really must again soon.
