It's rather disheartening to think that you have so little confidence in your own opinions/impressions.
hehehe...those who know me would find that quite a laughable statement. Perhaps you should read my posts more carefully and not mistake open-mindedness with being swayed.
And actually, if this article is true, it will be in line with my own thoughts and impressions already gained through the late campaign--but as I pointed out above, the audit will give more information.
Heck, look at my post #42, above, where I point out that even if there was some issue with American Exceptionalism, it might just have been a difference of opinion. (Not exactly like I'm drinking whatever flavor of Kool-Aid is passed out!) And in fact, I think that Wilsonian doctrine is a large part of what has gotten us in this mess we're in, so I'd probably be dinged by McCain's flunkies, too!
Remember, facing challenges (negative press reports, for example) and managing responses to them isn't giving in to them. It's better than pretending they don't exist.
