Does that ring a bell?

It's the truth.

Perhaps it would be simpler to ignore such raging stupidity, since
there's no possiblity of reducing it.

Yes there is.

You haven't done a good job of contrasting between diplomacy and coersion
so, I can only conclude that they are still one and the same.

... Once you understand that you will also understand that nations are
islands unto themselves and that their survival depends on doing what is
in the nations best interests when dealing with other nations.


So you're saying we should just nuke every other country on Earth, since
we can't trust them and can't coerce them?

No, I didn't say we should nuke anyone. We should continue to threaten
countries with our nuke capability.

Once you understand the difference between diplomacy & coercion, you may
be ready to consider acting like an adult, including voting for one.

I did vote for an adult. I didn't vote for John Kerry because he is a child
who has done well marrying rich women and hasn't been able to amass a
fortune on his own. Haven't you noticed that Mrs. Heinz Kerry has dropped
the Kerry. I guess old John will have to start begging for his allowance
again.

And Bush continues to kiss their butts. I expect that if mainland China
decides to invade Taiwan, the 7th Fleet will be ordered to escort them &
make sure they don't get lost or run out of fuel.

Which is why the Bush Administration is kissing up to them both, and
making sure that they get the lion's share of outsourced U.S. jobs?

... Both China and India are purchasing oil at an increasing rate which
is driving up the price of that oil.

So is scarcity.

I heard that they are going to vote to crack open ANWR.


... Regardless of what you think oil drives our economy in more ways than
you realize.


???
When did I ever post anything saying that oil is not important to our
economy? Get a clue.

I have a clue. In fact I have several and I could give you one if you would
like?
