I am proud to be an American, too<br />But we have had our share of human rights violations, here and overseas.<br /><br />There are clearly specific reasons why some countries don't like us. Now I'm not specifically suggesting that they are correct, or that we should even change anything, but as a soverign nation, they have a right to their opinion, as long as they don't pose a specific threat, we need to live with it and do wht we can within reason to change their mind.<br /><br />Your theory of diplomacy reminds me of growing up with an older brother. He was 5 years older, 6 inches taller, and 70 lbs heavier than me. He got to set all the rules.<br /><br />I managed to figure out ways to even the score, at any and all costs, and survive.

Re: Boycot or Not to Boycot

Pretty cool that you guys have got all fiesty and stuff <br /><br />I think we follow the rules taught us by our founding fathers. I really do. And I think they got it. And I think we still kinda do. Please no slavery talk without indicating some of the other norms of the time. It is relevant you know. I do understand that things change and we adjust, but the basic stuff still applies.<br /><br />

I agree with this 100%. However, your rules making analogy assumes that we act as a bully. I don't think we do.<br /><br />rodbolt,<br /><br />I'm noodlin' on your questions. Truth is, I don't know, I'll review and render an opinion. Interesting that yet again my initial questions are not answered. You allude to them in a mini-rant within your macro-rant on that other thread
