No, actually, I know far better than you do that it isn't. That's nonsense. It's not coming back. MIT is the home of American Security Studies, and there isn't a single professor here who thinks it is, for example. There isn't a single senior officer in the United States military of whom I am aware who thinks it is coming back, or wants it to come back. The President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense have both said that there is no chance that it is coming back. Do you have any evidence that it is coming back? > > I find it interesting that when you ask me to cite > data and I do, you > drop the discussion, and when you ask me to cite > data and I point out > that I don't have to because I was speaking > conjecturally, you drop the > discussion, and yet you seem to keep wanting to > engage me. > > Is it masochism? No, it's being busy. I haven't replied to all of your posts that I intend to. I have several times challenged you - for example, your ludicrous ideas on economic development in the Third World - and you haven't even attempted to defend what you've said. When have you _ever_ cited data? When have you poited out that you don't have to because you're speaking conjecturally? Conjecture unsupported by evidence is almost useless. You can conjecture anything. You have to support it with some reference to actual events, or you're not saying anything at all. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
