How does someone without a mind determine that mine is closed?
let alone that it's "a glory to observe"?

Anything you post on the topic is *very* carefully selected propaganda
from your limited range of reading material and intended to reinforce
your belief that it was the right thing to do. That you have virtually
run out of said material in the past year because there's little
honest good news to report, explains why your limited debate on the
topic nowadays amounts to repeating your tired old mantras.
"...things in irak are goin kwite well" etc

Further, that you constantly assert that anybody who disagreed with
the invasion is by definition a socialist supporter of SH is evidence
that you are loony and clutching at straws to hold the line.

Such is the price you pay for your cognitive dissonance problem and
rigid mind. Prisms lardy, prisms.

Except when it's on a serious subject like the String Theory.
Then you get all bitchy and nasty and attempt to intimidate the
OP before you slope off for a few hours to sulk, hoping the OP
goes away. Right?

How many lifetimes have you got lardy? ho ho ho.

Why you believe you're not one of them is a mystery to me. There
are plenty of people about with perfectly rational/logical views on
political/current affairs, which are diametrically opposed to yours.

Frequently there's no absolutely right way forward and many issues
have multiple solutions, each with its own merits. You always support
the solution which meets your personal preference and agenda but
that doesn't make it the *right* solution, whatever you say.

You have never understood what is meant by such terms have you lardy.

>your grasp of politics is between feeble and nonsensical

I have *never* claimed to understand politics; I have no interest.
But I do understand how politicians think and what drives them and
how this plays out in practical policies. You simply don't understand
the mind of America's politicians and big money men.
