Just goes to show, that the power of thought through policy is disassociating from people through ingenious acts of fowl policy. *I pretty much said it there, read inbetween the lines to understand* Anas last blog post..Fate through origin of names

America has been both a friend and ally to Singapore; of this there can be no doubt, my friend. Since the time of Richard Nixon, Singapore has benefitted immensely from it’s ties with the United states of America.

In retrospect, after reading your response, I agree that security arrangements were below par and that better security should be afforded to all Heads of State. In this respect, I am in total agreement with you, my friend.

I have held every former President of the United States of America in high regard. However, Gerge CW Bush remains an anomaly to me.

Please pardon me for my digressive ventings on your website, my friend.

I was not talking about any of that. You could take any President, from Washington to Bush and find something that someone did not like or agree with. I am specifically talking about the potential for harm for our President. I am willing to bet you are going to see different security in the future for Presidents to eliminate this potential threat. This time it was a shoe, but next time it could be a heavy camera or some other solid heavy object that could kill a leader. Not good.

Please grant me the benefit of clarification:

1. It’s not wrong to invade an ex-ally on the justification that they are in illegal possession of nuclear weapons, only to discover years later that there never were such weapons in their possession?

2. It’s also not wrong to ignore the statutes of the Geneva Convention, forcefully removing their citizens from their country and relocating them to Guantanamo Bay where they are subjected to torture and ill-treatment after such persons have been categorized as “illegal non-combatants” which justifiies why they can be subjected to “detention-without-trial?

3. But it is wrong to throw a pair of shoes at the person who was directly responsible for the aforementioned injustices?
