also onetime: the "you're with us or you're against us" quote i'm thinking of WAS directed towards germany and france--saying that they should get on board with the program. I will look it up for you to get the exact quote if you like.

EDIT: Here's the quote and a link: "Over time it's going to be important for nations to know they will be held accountable for inactivity," he said. "You're either with us or against us in the fight against terror."

To put it into perspective: let's say that you're on a football team and the halfback tells you, "I want you to do this and this and this. Either you're with me or you're against me. If you don't do what I say, you will be held accountable." Wouldn't you think he was being kind of an asshole? What gives him the right to say what the team is going to do?

And in terms of the Gore speech, wouldn't you say the halfback is showing contempt for anyone who disagrees with him?
