It seems that only Bush has learned from his mistakes.
I don't know about that. I don't think he considers what he's done as mistakes. But that's just speculation on my part.

I hope you enjoy talking with other people. and hearing what their world view is.
Oh, indeed, I do. I just thought that it was starting to become a bit pointless, as neither of us are going to persuade eachother of our beliefs .

Thank you, so do you.
Thanks!

On that we disagree, I don't reject (or accept) anything based on who the messenger is.
Even if the messenger is notorious for providing misleading information? I read FOX News and watch it occasionally, but I only take what they say with a grain of salt. They are not credible, and therefore that is my reasoning for this.


I don't know,
Neither does anyone else, but I have my bets placed on the idea that it was used to deceive the American public into supporting the war(s).

The military uses of South Africa, Libya (and North Korea) nuclear programs were/are dismantled under IAEI (UN) supervision, with the inspectors given "full access".
Why doesn't the US follow this model, and dismantle their nukes as well?

I saw that as an observation, not criticism,
Well, ok, I guess it is an observation. You're right.

The people who always agree with you, aren't really going to help you learn anything, in the long run.
Now that is what I do agree with you on. You're very right there. Like I said, I do listen to opposing views, and I'm doing it here, am I not? I have conversations like this all the time.

It's not about intelligence.
Then why did you tell me that I was "smarter than that"?

Well, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I think we've both exhausted our arguments--I know I have. If you haven't, then I guess you win .
