Hille,

I apologise if you found my words patronizing. Please understand what I was attempting to communicate was exactly the opposite of patronization.

If my country uses nuclear weapons against another country, assuming that you are not in the US, you will more than likely not feel any responsibility for what my government has done.

However, as a voter in this coutry, I will feel responsible.

I do feel that for you to tell me with the degree of certainty that you have, that you know for a fact what the president of my country will or will not do, is in itself patronizing.

If you are in the US, then I am simply at a loss for words. You are certainly entitled to your opinions, as am I.
