right, before everyone gets totally snippy about something that i only pointed out, she could use this as background data. As Chris in Florida pointed out, you need to know what the other side is going to argue in order to counter their arguments. Certainly, if I was arguing, i would definitely bring the UN report into it, no matter what side I was arguing.
And by the way, may I say that this isolationism attitude that suffuses american culture right now, this us againts the world thing, scares the hell out of me.
