It is a waste of time to talk to you. You missed the crux of my last post which had to do with iran/shiaa/sunni stuff you brought up. Your insulting manner will only get me to ignore you (again). I will not respond in kind.

That's just not fair. Michael is one of the few people who has actually changed his opinion, on SI, in public. Michael is the kind of person you should be having a dialog with- to see where his views, and yours, have commonalities. Unless you want to be in a tiny party comprised of just the far left, that won't get very far, I suggest you moderate a bit- and recognize Michael for what he is, a potential voter for a new more moderate democratic party. And you certainly don't have to respect Mr. Bush. I have 0 respect for him. But calling him names just weakens your position. Mr. Bush loses on the facts- the name calling just gives his supporters the idea that it's all about names, and not about facts. I wouldn't want to give Mr. Bush's supporters any help at all, and whether you realize it or not, calling names just helps the guy who opposes you- because it generally makes the name caller look emotional, and illogical. Let's try to leave that position for the people we don't agree with.
