[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You clearly don't like in a target city like dc. Go post on you local message board on flyover country.[/quote]

I was at the Pentagon on 9/11, moron.

Stop being such a pussy. Paris isn't about you.[/quote]

Well, I was at a dinner hosted by the American Ambassador in the European country where I work, and he seemed to feel that Paris is about the US as well as France.  But I'll let him know that someone on DCUM says he's overthinking the issue.  He'll be so relieved![/quote]

Imagine that. The American ambassador thinks it's about the US. I'd be more interested in what the French ambassador had to say.[/quote]

The American Ambassador, unlike you, understands that the issue/threat is NOT just about France, but is a directed toward/involves many countries.  He's not some kind of unsophisticated simpleton who doesn't understand these things, and of course he is in frequent contact with the other foreign diplomats (French too!) in this city.  He didn't just arrive at this conclusion on his own, and his opinion isn't unique in the international community.  You would sound like a fool in front of all of those guys (French included) if you said what you have written here tonight.

We stayed in all weekend due to a heightened terror threat, though, and we're not in America OR France, but even though you don't have direct experience of the way these things are linked, it shouldn't be that difficult to understand how these things are linked, and no democratic country is really an individual entity at this point.  But I don't think you are really capable of understanding this, to be honest.  [/quote]

We get it.  You really, really like the ambassador.[/quote]

You really, really missed the point (of the Paris attack implications).  We get it.[/quote]
