And you are right - it's best not to post politics if you argue about it. Religion, also, for that matter. lol

You crack my up! When I read this post, I was reminded of the all the times you would get so riled up here while discussing politics (and religion too for that matter). Oh, by the way, I noticed your dig up there about Obama and Clinton, but I wouldn't have taken that as you trying to bait me for some showdown over who was the better Presidential candidate like I have seen you do with others, so don't worry.

Have a great evening!

I didn't quite understand what you were conveying, here DT.

I don't believe in dialoguing with rogue nations. It makes us seem weak and we don't want that. It's a diplomatic stance that every country's rulers understand. Sanctions is our strong no-talk diplomacy.

I didn't consider that a dig. It was my opinion about them on foreign policy.

I don't recall becoming riled up about politics, but I do remember becoming riled up on religion.

Isn't that funny how McCain points out that Obama is criticizing Iraq, but hasn't visited in two years? NOW, Obama is scheduling going this summer and when will that be? - when he needs the polls to reflect a higher rating for him and especially before August!

Nobody is going to convince radical Islamic extremists to like us. These extremists use inflammatory rhetoric and propaganda to inflame the citizens of the Middle East. This causes considerable social destabilization in many countries. More moderate Islamic nations need to be courted by the U.S. and we need to help them realize that we’re looking out for their survival. For example Islamic extremists would love to destabilize and take over the more moderate nation of Jordan. We do well to talk to Jordan and strengthen ties with them. This will both protect our interests and protect the governments that are moderate from falling into radical Islamic hands.

You can’t broker peace or build a case for war unless talks have been conducted. Standards of Just War require talking and diplomacy before the last resort of war is used.

We should be reminded that McCain was caught in a series of lies about his Iraq visit.

I think Bush had really hurt McCain's chances of winning. If Obama becomes President...thank Bush.

We had a Tornado in Missouri a couple weeks ago, thank Bush for that too.
