There's no point in running if you're on the wrong road.
@SteelHands Yeah, this country has a history of 'kissing the devil's ass' when it is expedient. It's just the way of global politics. If I were commander in chief, I would have to kiss the devils ass from time to time too. It is childish idealism to think it can be avoided.
