Dan,

Why does it have to be about right or wrong? How about difference of opinion where the debate stimulates the other to think about things they have yet to think about or research why they think they do. I have yet seen a post from you where you admit to being wrong. Whats your saying "Pot meet kettle?" why is that important ,we do not even know each other

You posted a passive agressive comment about not knowing anything directed at my challenge from days ago that few have a real or deep understanding of the root cause of the war on terror. I challeneged that passive agressive tactic and asked you to assert your knowledge on the subject. You walked and tried to turn it into a debate about right and wrong, me and you. AI find that weak and I have come to expect more form you this past few months. At least be like the others on this subject and point to the 35 year old corporate profit motive arguement or it's about the oil or even it the crusades all over again angle . At least that says I have not got a clue but I don't want to admit it. I have read at least several 1000 books and articles about the war on terror and the players since 911. I will not let someone that has not at least put in some effort tell me I do not know what I am talking about with out a stiff challenge. If that puts some off they should stick to whatever they do know about. In my family we read at least 4 hours a day ,each and everyone of us. So we can talk about just about any subject you want to bring up intelligently and either admit or walk away when we cannot. It's a fault that I assume others do the same.
