Someone who I think has been around a lot longer than you, if I'm not mistaken.

Why do we post/read/bother with these pieces written by the government officials?? I mean, I posted the one Rumsfeld wrote a few weeks ago mainly for a lark, but does it come as any surprise that Tony Blair would (gasp) write up a piece rationalizing his decisions? I'll give him credit, one eloquent editorial by Blair is more convincing for me than 10 speeches by President Bush. That doesn't change the fact that I think they're both wrong, and seeing Blair restate the same things he stated before, during, and after the war has little sway on me. I'm just as much a sucker for pretty words and feel good liberalism as the next guy, but that doesn't change the substance of things for me.....
