But that is small compared with 2. Wrapping the confliict up so much like this admin as a good/evil, with us/against us thing that so infuriate many. He scored some points, however in my opinion with his michael moore slam, which I too thought was funny (as apparantly did michael). He also scored points on the centrist front with his closing saying we were all americans. But he really lost points with 3. furthering the implication that if you disagree with the US, you're not supporting the war on terror. I'm referring to this line... "so we have good reason to expect their solidarity with us in this struggle. That is what the President believes." Just my 2 cents.
