The alternate goal has been articulated a dozen times by the left

Davin L. — 12/7/2004 5:11:11 PM (archived)

"Hey, I'm not asking for a 20 point plan. How about a one-point plan? How about a basic idea? It doesn't have to be original to you"

Ummm: How about 'End the conflict as soon as possible with as little life as possible to both sides'. The same one-point plan you just derided in your preceeding points. The same one-point plan that has been articulated again and again by opponent s of the war.

This is getting tiring. This isn't a debate. This is a game of "Poke The True Believer". Its like arguing with a fundamentalist preacher on the strreet corner.

        Don't you have the burden of evidence flipped? - Davin L. - 12/7/2004 11:37:26 PM
        
        Yeah, like proving a negative I guess. - RobVG - 12/8/2004 5:29:38 AM

        Stop chasing illusions and stop believing your own propaganda, start looking for a realistic way out that saves as many lives on both sides as possible. Pay attention to the facts on the ground, not… (n/t) - Davin L. - 12/6/2004 5:16:08 PM
        
        Another statement saying absolutely nothing. - Tom Brosz - 12/6/2004 6:07:17 PM
        
        Another way of trying to sidestep the point. - Davin L. - 12/6/2004 6:27:54 PM
        
        Fine. We can accept that you don't have any answers. - Tom Brosz - 12/6/2004 7:13:51 PM

        Try a little less penache, Tom, and read what I said (for the 50th time) - Davin L. - 12/8/2004 3:47:21 PM
        
        P.S. - Tom Brosz - 12/8/2004 5:04:31 PM

        Okay, so your argument boils down to: A third party is bad and stupid. Okay, lets grant that: why the hell should we then continue on the path we are on now? - Davin L. - 12/6/2004 7:16:50 PM
        
        Short answer--again--because at this point there IS NO OTHER PATH. - Tom Brosz - 12/6/2004 11:59:57 PM
        
        again, I have little time... But are you seriously claiming that we, the worlds only superpower, had no other choice but to invade Iraq: a third world country with no credible threat and no manifest… (n/t) - Davin L. - 12/7/2004 1:13:46 AM
        
        Are you sidestepping now? - Tom Brosz - 12/7/2004 4:15:24 AM
        
        Okay, so you want to argue *that* point - Davin L. - 12/8/2004 4:09:22 PM
