Point to a personal attack? There are none unless, you consider criticisms of US policies and activities to be personal? Granted, far too many Yanks are like that.
I don't mind however. I'm new here and trying to get a handle on how the rules are enforced. Apparently rules about attacking other posters personally are honoured in the breach more than the observance. Nice to know, but soft boundaries can make for unfair enforcement. Cuss words are presumably jumped on because I see none. They are easier to enforce because either they're there or they're not. This being a Canadian site I presume that disparaging words about sexual orientation will be jumped on with great self-righteousness as politically incorrect. Disparaging but unprofane slights such as that used by the above poster do not seem to invite criticism. The mine field is somewhere in the middle. I guess it provides ground for fertile thought for those who get personal satisfaction out of calling anonymous online strangers names.
As for our American friends, I am glad they’re here. To use an Americanism, they make for a target-rich environment, emotionally excitable, poorly educated and easily set up. The fun never ceases because they don't learn very easily.

You may be right about his intentions. I hope so. A bluff based on past US atrocities would be a smart play.

Gotta love the Tea Party line - simple, stupid and disingenuous, marginally within the grasp of an infantry mind but stopping there.
Interesting point. The only thing I would change is to say "Israelis" instead of "Jews" to differentiate between the Jewish faith and the government of Israel.
America started to run off the rails on oil in the late 1940's. There was a man , Powel Crosley Jr., who had made his fortune in radio and appliances and lost over 100 million in today's money when he tried to get America to buy his small cars, live off its own resources, instead of cruising the planet as energy buccaneers.

More on this in a week.

Putin and Assad have stopped ignoring the UN on Chemical weapons, and the US Navy never fired a shot. Not bad for a 'bumbling Nigra', -
not bad at all...
