Bullshit. Like Gordon and Mark haven't seen ARI apologists slam me a
zillion times. This is simply a case that because you decided to
"plonk" me, you think they should follow suit.

Your missing what I'm debating here. There are all sorts of dumb laws
and ideas out there. I don't think it is wrong to question them when
we have a little supporting evidence to suggest they may not be such a
bright idea (e.g. Iraq, Iran next? ).
What I am saying is the distinction between "premptive" and
"preventative" war on a practical level it no longer useful (if it
ever was). Now people don't have to agree with each other in the
end.. that's fine.... but I think the debate is still worthwhile
having. (I myself have learned several things from both Mark and
Gordon in this exchange)
