Benjamin Netanyahu is one badass dude. Flame away, but I don't think there is anybody on the planet that I respect, from a politcal perspective, more than this guy. I'm just in awe of him.

Agreed. Netanyahu has my respect.

Plus, his name is fun to say.

Netanyahu is a lunatic. Thank heavens most of the folks in Israel don't agree with him.

The guy is a decorated war hero, well-educated and intelligent. That's not debatable. He and his family have sacrificed more for their country than you or I probably ever will.

As for being a lunatic... he's unswerving in his convictions. Some call that lunacy. I suppose it depends on the convictions in question.

None of which has any bearing on whether or not he is a lunatic. Stalin was pretty devoted to his country also. What's your point?

It's not his devotion, but his convictions that I have a problem with.

You're slandering the guy. I'm mentioning some of his admirable qualities. That's my point. He's sacrificed for his convictions. Whether you agree with his convictions or not, that much should be respected.

Fair Enough.

P.S. I'd say Stalin and Mao were devoted to themselves - not their countries. Your comparison is off-base. Netanyahu hasn't murdered his countrymen on a mass scale either.
