Who's Interest Should U.S. President Pursue? Duh!

Submitted to the Boston Globe on Monday, May 26:

Editor,

Thank you for publishing Nobel Peace Prize winner Jody Williams' commentary reminding us that the Bush Administration is pursuing the interests of the United States at the diplomatic conference to ban cluster bombs (US subverts the cluster bomb ban, May 24, A13).

I know some hate-America Americans don't understand this but many Americans desire that the President of the United States pursues the interests of the United States. (End of letter.)

And, who played whom? President Bush shared his displeasure that Israel would negotiate with Syria and Pavlovian Syria is now negotiating with Israel. My Boston Globe insists such negotiations are in the interest of the United States. Okay.
