It disturbs me that Dean’s statement:
Last week, Dean said the United States should not “take sides” in the Middle East conflict and said that an “enormous” number of Israeli settlements would have to be dismantled as part of a peace agreement.
..can be considered controversial.
I mean, to me it’s the most un-contoversial and plain statement that can be made (except perhaps for the “enourmous” comment.) I mean really! Is the common reported view so skewed that a position of neutrality and enforcing UN resolutions can be considered “controversial?”
Whatever.
