I don't necessarily disagree with that Geo., but don't forget that Israel
represents the freedom won in WWII; they exist only because we won WWII.
Indeed, Adam and Phil are free to berate America daily, or hourly it seems
sometimes, in English, only because we won WWII for them as well. Good for
Adam and Phil, let them berate us right, left and sideways right up until
they beg us for help the next time -- hell we beat the shit out of them in
the 18th and 19th centuries, saved their asses in the 20th and will have to
do it again in the 21st, if we choose to this time, but they'll be whining
throughout.

We won the cold war as well, that's not appreciated either, so we win the
big stuff that counts and benefits all, but all that is remembered (by
those that we're supposed to be biting our nails over their opinion of us,
because, supposedly, "Bush squandered" their adoration of the
United States prior to his election -- ROFL, what a joke),  is that we lost
a couple of battles (Korea and Vietnam) in the war for freedom around the
world.

We should worry about their opinion? No we should not, they should worry
about our opinion of them and their appeasement mentality, and they should
wonder if we'll be there for them next time they fall down.

I think perhaps that wacko in Iran talking about annihilating Israel and
working toward the caliphate as soon as he can, might have more to do with
that price increase than Bush does. Of course, if the Islamo-fascists get
what they want, we won't have to worry about gasoline prices at all, we'll
all be dead or kneeling.
