Your Republican Party today is some spectacle, is it not? Its House of Representatives dips into foreign policy. As is well known, it invites the Prime Minister of a foreign country to make a speech that serves two purposes: campaigning against the US President's present foreign policy and campaigning for re-election in an increasingly tough battle in his home country. Since he offers no alternatives to the proposed policy of the US President, it cannot serve any purposes other than dual-campaigning. Oh yes, and just coincidentally, the ambassador of that country to the United States, who arranged the whole thing behind the President's back, just happens to be a native U.S. who formerly was a Repub. operative.
