I respect the citizens of Iran and Syria. Not their leaders or their system of government. I have no respect whatsoever for gwb.
As far as respecting the “office that he holds,” to be honest with you, I’m not even sure what that means. Sure, it’s probably the most powerful position in the world. But does that mean that any person who holds that office deserves respect? Of course not. Does it mean that if I show no respect for bush that I have no respect for his office? I don’t think it does. But I don’t know for sure because, like I said, I’m not sure what that means. In any case, I have no respect for the man, and it is the man, not the office, for whom I hold very great contempt and disgust.
