Now your argument has another logic flaw, that of a "Red Herring."

A Red Herring is a fallacy in which an irrelevant topic is presented in order to divert attention from the original issue. The basic idea is to "win" an argument by leading attention away from the argument and to another topic. This sort of "reasoning" has the following form:

Topic A is under discussion.
Topic B is introduced under the guise of being relevant to topic A (when topic B is actually not relevant to topic A).
Topic A is abandoned.

This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because merely changing the topic of discussion hardly counts as an argument against a claim.

We, none of us, are mindreaders--something you now claim must be in place in order to trust future dealings made by our Administration. Rather, we must believe that others are pressed to a higher calling--BELIEVING others will act in the best interests of their peoples. Otherwise, there can never be any treaties made, any positions taken, because we cannot read minds or ever truly know a person's character.

Just because the Iranians FAILED to live up to past promises/expections does not mean that all future dealings with the Iranian PEOPLE should be treated AS IF they will always be dishonoest. And the transgressions of IRANIAN people does not equate to transgressions of IRAQI people; or, in the reverse, if Serbs appear to be honest, this does not mean they shall ALWAYS be honest or that they are the ONLY honest peoples.

Honestly, this was the mid-80's, can you tell me that you would trust the Iranians? Honest, what is your personal answer? To Trust that Terrorist Regime or not to Trust?

My answer is not to trust the Terrorists.

Ergo, you are wrong. Officials from this and the past administration have stood with and sided with known terrorists of this world. You want "internet" proof? Your leader has sent his emmissaries and encouraged terrorism to continue, not to stop. How often have you supported terrorism by remaining silent on Kosovo?

Im not saying that you are, just remain or are ignorant of those facts on Kosovo Albanian Muslim teams being given the green light (no pun intended) to have a free pass and collect $200, literally.

That is not to mention those Jihadians still roaming free in Bosnia under the guise of IFOR. You can thank your little leader W.Clark for that. Whom by the way, is considering a run for the Presidency.
