A friend left last week on a trip to Europe. Debbie told her it
would be a good idea for her to wear or display a peace symbol, to
show that not all Americans were behind the Bush gang. I
immediately chimed in: "Not a peace symbol; a maple leaf."
I think the peace symbol next to an american flag would send the
better message (or the old peace-sign-on-the-blue-field
modification of the american flag), though possibly not the easier
message for your friend to back up.
To all the Europeans who might have felt insulted by Kleiman's post
- I can't speak for the man, but I suspect that he said it because
he simply doesn't want the American rightist ass-napkins who, e.g.,
called the Spanish vote a "capitulation" to Al-Q, to have any more
ammunition.
I don't think he thought you'd try and accept the "truce"; I think
he thought you'd ignore the offer until after Instapundit or USS
Clueless or Bird Dog had a chance to soapbox with it.
It wasn't about you, it was about us, and I'm very sorry that this
is the situation we find ourselves in. Give us a few more
months.
