Because if there’s one guy who really has his pulse on what’s happening with international relations, it’s… you?

Do not insult other posters.

Warning issued.

**Jonathan Chance** , I’m not aware I insulted anyone. However, I do feel insulted by this:

I look forward to a moderators response.

You’ve provided zero cites backing up any of your statements in this thread, and you’ve responded to cites offered to you with your opinion and a series of drive by non-answers. So, that seems like a valid (and non-insulting) response to your own non-answers in this thread. If you have anything of substance besides drive by snipes about Kerry or the US then feel free to actually go into some detail. Even without a cite at least there could be a freaking discussion.
