I don't. The President can speak to his own Sec. of State directly without giving a speech to the world. This administration's Mideast policy has been pathetic, and the spin and assaults from the likes of Miss Marple, Texasforever, and Oldfriend -- all of whom insist that the Supreme Court's recent ruling protecting retards from the death penalty doesn't apply to them -- prove the point.

I will agree to disagree with you.

To me, the speech today had to be said in public, to openly set a bar for the Arabs that they can't possibly reach. Free elections, honest commerce, the denial of terrorism--they will never do this. They don't know how. Your anger is misplaced.
