Funny you should say that. I think it's interesting how

many Americans defend him. If he were, say, French, or Chinese, in the same exact situation, how many of you would still be defending him?

I can state categorically that my opinion of him would be exactly the same, regardless of his nationality. Not sure how many of his apologists can say the same.
