In a message dated 8/14/2002 12:30:31 AM Central Standard Time,
samantha@objectent.com quotes Ron h: That seems to be mostly old news dolled
up as something fresh and exciting. Bush said in the beginning that he was
going to pursue the terrorists wherever they are. He also said that other
people were with us or against us in our pursuit of terrorist.

Samantha then replied: Yes. And he should have been immediately thrown out
as a dangerous idiot. You don't tell all the nations of the earth that they
either give you carte blanche or else. Any simpleton knows that much. You
don't tell the nations of the world you will ignore their borders and
sovereignity at will without them seeing you as a very dangerous rogue.

Samantha,
       Please help me. Where did that come from? I think we would agree
both that it would be dangerously foolish for our President to conduct
himself in the way you describe. However I don't know of any instance where
he either advocated that conduct or acted it out.
       As to his "for us or against us" I think in context it clearly
referred to those that were actively supporting or shielding the terrorists
not to folks that were peaceably at home minding their own business.
