"they are not only wrong, they are in power"

So that's why they can't admit they were wrong. Because they would lose face ......and position as the great US is always right, always a leader.

>" I believe that they have become incapable of distinguishing between the truth and their own version of the world, and that they are unable to objectively evaluate the results of their actions because to do so might threaten the validity of their motives. "

Are you sure you didn't take a course in psychology?
Because this borders on a pathology, you know.

(Funny how Tom never weighed in on any of your later posts in this thread....)
