Well, you are clearly not being reasonable.

Yes, I have apologised to Victor Charlie. Again, why should I tell you? VC has admitted the war was wrong too, so maybe my accusation that the Iraq war was wrong is also something he agrees with. We have our own rather curious ways, but on the whole he comes across as far less angry and bullying than you.

You use my line of work to bring me down to earth? Forgive me for not working in the NSA, or in the military, or as a CIA agent inciting revolution in Iran because they had the audacity to nationalise their own resources etc etc. Good national causes, Lyle! Much better than those English teachers. BTW, what was it, you do? Oh, top secret.

I know plenty about America. I read the same media that you all do and its a big country. On that basis, I know about America just as much as you do. However, I read better media and so probably know more.
