>>I admit, I supported us going to war. I didn't believe that our President would send the men and women in the armed services to war if the evidence wasn't conclusive. I was wrong.

>I don't think you were wrong. The fact is we waited 6 months before going in and delaying only ensured that we wouldn't find anything. Yes, Hans Blix said what he said, but what is so "holy" about his opinion? Charles Dulfer also said he couldn't rule out the possibility that wmds were moved to Syria. He also said there was credible evidence that it had been moved.

It sure doesn't seem so. A couple of questions --

Who are the two legislators? And what did they say?

Who is Charles Dulfer? Do you have a link to his credible evidence?

This sounds so much like talk radio, the committed waving back and forth to the committed. That's nothing personal because I really do think you're a good guy, despite your deplorable political views ;-) But both sides are so hardened at this point, so dug in, I don't know what sense it makes to even try to discuss it. George Washington or Abraham Lincoln could spring back from the dead onto the 2008 ballot and half of us would automatically vote for them and half of us would vote against them simply based on which side of the ballot their names appeared. Unless and until we as a country can get past this, we will remain hogtied and suboptimized.

I had a nice blind date last night and the woman turned out to be a dyed in the wool liberal. That has somehow become an epithet but she presented her opinions well. (She brought up politics. And despite what you may think, I am not a knee-jerk liberal; it just seems so in this political climate). One in particular caught my attention. She suggested and I agreed that the perfect ticket in 2008 would be John McCain and Colin Powell. We agreed Gen. Powell would not run as VP at this point, is tired of the whole thing, but on a politically inspirational level that ticket would resonate. And I would vote for McCain in a heartbeat, way ahead of Hillary or whatever other ticket the Demos seem prepared to offer up at this point. Too bad there's not a chance.

PS -- When it comes to dating I am a complete democrat ;-). Sometimes a dummycrat, as you would put it. But we probably all have that in common, men and women alike.
