LOL...you didn't let me finish my editing. In certain matters I truly believe knowledge (true knowledge) can only be realized by the actual experience. None of us knows what Bush's/Moore's intentions are/were because, that I am aware of, neither discussed their intentions with any of us.

The show stopper in this debate probably comes down to the fact that there are so many behind-the-scenes decisions and actions that have gone on by the various powers-that -be in all countries directly involved, that we'll never really know the absolute facts from either side.

Precisiely...so when someone purports to know THE truth...I say they are incorrect, there are many truths...because we each develop our own. IMHO

... and that is the very important distinction between truths, which are subjective, and facts.

An opinion is just an opinion, no matter how well you defend it, how eloquently you support it, or how boldly you state it.

In my opinion

I don't disagree with this opinion.

Wow!

How could I possibly disagree with such a delightful duet?

I leave this thread persuaded that there is indeed no difference in kind between Messrs Bush and Moore, only one of degree.
