>You have some weird idea that my world is going to crack and fall apart if I don't "accept the facts" as you see them. Oh noes, Walter's right, let me ventilate my cranium...Gimme a break. If my "world" was that fragile, do you think I'd stand up and make myself such a target in a public forum?

You are doing it al the time up here...

>>As for the insulting, who did I insult??? Isn't time to go back to go to school and learn reading???

>Well sir, you just did it again.

It is an observation that you simply don't read what has been written. You read with your emotions and are unable to read what is been said. I've seen numerous instances where you failed to get my message despite numerous attempts
The conclusion is that you start learn reading again..

>>I did accuse the american GOVERNMENT (to be more exact GWB and his fellows) of being arrogant and ignorant. And this is exactly the phrase used in the interview referred to in the thread: The end of iraq.

>I don't care if you heisted it from Galbraith. As an American, I find it insulting.

I did not insult you, nor the american people. It accuse you administration though. But accusing and insulting are two different thing though. If you accuse the dutch prime minister to look like harry potter and look a bit dumb, I'm not insulted. Why should you ??? I guess you're weaseling out of the argument, because you assumed I was insulting americans on the whole. That is why I accuse you from not reading what has been written down.

>Come back when you learn to be civil.

You do not have any authority to force me anything, only michel has. You do your best to insult me as many times, but my skin is thicker or my arguments are better. To be honest, I find this hiding behind the argument of insulting a bit childish.

In fact my personal observation is that most americans in real life very civil. You have odd ones though....

Walter,
