I thought Artificial Brandon had been around at the EZbourd site under a different name Kevin. . .But I could be mistaken.

In any case, I think Blair is at an impasse and has a conflict of interest. Whether he is right or wrong in the stance he has taken, and I would believe he erred greatly, he is left in the position of defending it. A good orator can bend reason, facts and philosophy to suit their whims of the moment, and I think the above was an attempt from Blair towards similar aims.

"The World Would Be A Better Place" is not an argument which holds water. Probabilities to not determine realities. Objectively, one must admit that we are not furthering any manner of absolutes through our military actions in the Middle East, but rather forcing our philsophical ideals upon an unwilling nation with-holding conflicting views which has already embraced its own manifest destiny.
