Reply #44: I'm not talking about "blind" belief... [View All]

Which really is more accurately termed "blind faith".

I don't have "blind faith"..and I don't accept the distinction between "suspect" and "belief".

"For example, we should not invade and bomb a country because we believe we are unsafe, or because we believe they have weapons of mass destruction. Any *idea* that we may have should be fully investigated prior to action to confirm a fact that will be grounds for action (or not). Otherwise, people get hurt from irrationality".

It sounds like you're talking about the Bush Administration's decision to invade Iraq....I wouln't confuse ANYTHING they did with regard to foriegn affairs, especially, as being remotely associated with anything other than greed and imperialism.
