It's a little ironic, but we're in the same boat France was, in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq after 9/11.

We're distant enough to have some perspective, and we have personal experience with this exact phenomenon. But whether we like it or not, we do have a pre-existing diplomatic and military relationship at play, and that complicates matters severely. Not supporting your allies in their time of need, regardless of whether they deserve it or not, is a heavy choice to make, with consequences of its own.

Fine. He isn't employed to make policy. If he disagrees with the policy that much he should resign. Man has a modicum of integrity, agree with him or not.

So where has the hospital story gone? Need another story to get enraged about so you have at least a little bit of purpose in life?
