I don't wish to spark a debate (or be barred from BT2), however I fear for science and the wasted opportunities over the past 2 presidencies.
Hope I don't upset anyone, (puts on flame suit).

You don't offend me truly - but it doesn't tell me enough. What is it that we do? Iraq is so frightening and I don't know the answer, but could you explain what else? It can't be religion, because we are erasing ours while these leaders that hate us so much in the middle east are fanatics. We accommodate people from all over the world, and we don't threaten to erase countries from the map. We are a military presence, but would you rather we lose? Would you rather America become something entirely different?
Or is it all about business? Stock market breaking records...........Negotiating sounds good, but it's politically tainted so you don't know who is telling the truth.
I think we are allowed to do this here but we may be supposed to have it in one forum only.[social chat?] I haven't read the rules here yet I confess but think we are allowed to have civilized debate here.
if one of the mods is reading maybe they would answer since i'm too lazy to read the rules.
