Perhaps because this would be more political theater rather than a serious debate? How about a veteran amputee or widow come talk in support of the Iraq war? I am positive that it wouldn't be a problem finding volunteers, if all you wanted was a photo op and not a serious exchange of differing viewpoints. I think CGM could not have missed EK's point in a more profound way.

Excellent post, EK. Want to help me found the Reasonable People's Party? Our founding platform is that any problem worth solving doesn't have a viable easy solution and that hardly anyone is wrong all the time.
