<<The problem is “True Believers” never abandon their fantasies easily. Instead, when confronted with a reality contrary to their cherished beliefs, an ever more fantastic set of explanations is offered As they “press-on” in their cause, groupthink synergistically reinforces their denial. That others refuse to share the fantasy is viewed as an obstacle to be overcome – not as a reason for reassessment. This could be seen as a farce were the consequences not so tragic – for the Iraqis, for “coalition” troops, for American status and security.>> Yes, and the newest fantasy is that Iraq is the place where we will win the war aginast terror.
