Thanks for the input everyone. Very strong thread going here. Also, thanks for all the ammunition
Looking forward to getting back to my firefight.
"Not worth confirming the unknown and letting it go...I dont think you'll ever hear what was or was not actually found." - Very strong point. I was considering going back and conceding that neither of us could prove that WMD's were or were not present, which would allow us to argue the true merits of the invasion. Unfortunately, this is only a once a week class which lasts for 3 hours.
Not for a moment had I considered backing down from this fight, or future fights. This is exactly why I took International Relations
The professor managed to lose all sense of objectivity about 15 minutes into his lecture, which he refers to as a discussion. Our discussions are the verbal equivalent of a fill in the blank questionaire. Professor asks leading questions to which the sheep can usually reply to quite easily. I think there's only one person in the class who has an idea of what's going on in the world, and he's quite liberal. I look forward to mixing it up with him.
Again, thanks for all the help!
