Bill O'Reilly and David Letterman
You can view the video at Political Teen
"http://thepoliticalteen.net/2006/01/04/oreillyletterman/"
Notice how many times David Letterman refers to his feelings when expressing his opinions. He can not refer to any facts when he questions O'Reilly only his feelings. If you are going to debate the war in Iraq or anything else you first have to know and agree on the facts. If you are unable to agree on the facts it turns into nothing more than calling each other a liar. You can not learn anything from emotional name calling. At one point David admits to not knowing as many facts as O'Reilly does about the war but he then asks O'Reilly about how he feels regarding Cindy's son death as though he can not believe O'Reilly could base an opinion on cold hard facts instead of emotional sympathy. I am not trying to belittle someone for having sympathy for someone loosing a child but it is unrelated to the debate.
Example: If a police officer and a bank robber were both killed in a shoot out during a robbery most people would feel sympathy for the mothers of both the policeman and the robber because both mothers are innocent but when in comes to assigning blame for the deaths we would blame the robber and not the policeman based on the facts. Cindy's son was like the police officer and the terrorist that killed him were like the robber based on the facts not based on emotion. Cindy's hate is misplaced. She should be blaming the terrorist that killed him for his death not the very people he was trying to protect from the terrorist.
