I'm no hair-shirt wearer and take no pleasure in being blamed for policies I
don't subscribe to. But I will waste no energy complaining about being
called names. Americans can be assured they will not be the targets of such
intense global invective if they spend more time focusing on preventing the
war and less time sobbing about their hurt feelings.
