I saw him today in Lebanon, and he promised to cut US support for the country if the Opposition won.
Isn't this a little ridiculous? Why should the US State Department dictate the sovereignty of other sovereign nations with relatively (but in no way truly) democratic elections? There seems to be a trend of American leaders promising to support Third World countries only if they elect a pro-US or a US-backed government, and promising to cut support to these countries if they elect a government perceived by the US to be anti-American (which the Opposition is not -- their leading member did condemn 9/11).
How is it that Biden thinks he can just do that?

He is the VP.
But don't listen to everything he says, he is just there to make Obama look smart, Bush should have done the same but instead his VP was smarter than him.

No. I do not, however, consider the Opposition to be an enemy to the US.

And more evil.
