I think I agree with the majority of your sentiments, though some of your comments do lead me to wonder about the quality of news reporting in your country.

Another question, with your government openly talking about a pre-emptive strike on Iraq & sanctioning the CIA to assassinate Saddam Hussein, would it be acceptable for Iraq to launch a pre-emptive strike on the US in self-defence ? How would your country react if the leader of another country publicised that it was second out agents to assassinate the President, is it unreasonable for other countries to act in a similar manner ?
