Ace..you take what others say and simplify it and alter their conclusions so that they are counter to what was said in order to support your position.

Neither of us said government is the answer or responsble for great innovations. Rather, we both said that government helps create and support the environment in which industry can innovate.,particularly emerging industries than can contribute addtional solutions - not replace existing solutions.

And as far as the last comment "in other words, yes" - please, dont twist what I said. I agree with Carter not the article that our long standing policy of sleeping with the enemy simply because they were anti-communiist, has proven to be a failed policy again and again and ignoring human rights as we have done for the last few years has led to a level of anti-Americanism around the world we havent seen in my lifetime.

You made some valid points, and you are entitled to your own opinion and conclusions, but you are telling me what MY opinion and conclusions are....and if that is the quality of debate and discussion you chose to pursue, by misrepresenting what I say, I will pass on any further discussion with you.

I'll gladly continue to discuss the the truth or myth of the content of the original article with anyone else
