Perhaps you could come up with some kind of argument to refute my post ? Just by parotting "tripe" doesn't say anything, except that it adds to the "tripe."

Very well although it is hardly worth the effort.

I doubt Dubya is much admired in most of the rest of the world whose people consider the killing of 3000+ Afghan civilians in an illegal, undeclared war a war crime.

We'll assume you are correct and that most of the rest of the world dislikes W.

Who cares. Its not a popularity contest. They knocked down 2 of our buildings and killed thousands of our people. We root them out and kill them back, then make sure they don't do it again. Period.

The fact that W doesn't care much what the rest of the world thinks is proof he understands more about foreign policy than you do.

Since you seem to care so much about World opinion, yet are still so clueless about it, let me help by giving you two simple rules.

1) If the US does not focus on foreign affairs, we are called isolationists and are ridiculed and despised by Europe and the rest of the world.

2) If we take an active role in foreign policy we are interfering and it is called American Hegemony. And we are ridiculed and despised by Europe and the rest of the world.

Dubya stepped right into Osama's trap. Nice going Dubya, Rummy, and the rest of this administration's warmongers.

Right. Osama's trap. Osama laid a trap all right. He laid it expecting a response like your hero, the sink emperor himself would give. Just like when a truck bomb was used to attempt to blow up the World Trade Center, or the embassy in Saudi Arabia was blown up, or when a hole was blown in the Cole.

Only this time Osama got a different response.

Who trapped who?
