Since when has it been American custom to not observe the customs of other nations?
It is protocol.
I was in the Navy and as we passed ships of other nations we never saluted FIRST.
Just as an officer never salutes first.
I'm sick of people thinking we need to bow to others. No other nation on this planet has done so much good in all of their years of existence as America has in her short history.
I don't expect other nations to bow to us, but I damned well don't want our President bowing to them.
