Stepping back.....

Too frequently conflict with others or within ourselves comes from being too close, too involved, in a situation or event. 'Stepping back' from the situation can often reveal aspects not otherwise considered or seen.

Our NEW Foreign Policy

On YAHOO! News
Cheney Lectures Russia About Reform

By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent
May 04, 2006

"No legitimate interest is served when oil and gas
become tools of intimidation or blackmail, either by
supply manipulation or attempts to monopolize
transportation," he said. (Quoting Cheney)

Hint, Hint. HINT, HINT. HINT!, HINT!

"...either by supply manipulation..."

The way your gas at the pump keeps getting more and
more expensive, maybe?

You've been reading about this here, if you have managed
to find this blog, but I doubt you will find any follow-
up on it in any major media.

This criticism may have been directed at Putin but it
is also directed at the United States, as do other
remarks in this article; many of which strains logic
and understanding to the maximum. For instance:

"from religion and the news media to advocacy groups
and political parties, the government has unfairly and
improperly restricted the rights of the people."

"Other actions "have been counterproductive and could
begin to affect relations with other countries," Cheney
said, mentioning energy and border issues."

"And no one can justify actions that undermine the
territorial integrity of a neighbor, or interfere with
democratic movements."

Mr. Cheney, these remarks should be turned back
onto the Bush administration, of which you are a part,
and test their merits before pointing fingers at
foreign entities.

Our new foreign policy--Don't do as we do, do as we say.
