Reply #60: Not wrong... just not realistic...

I don't want Kerry co-ordinating with Dean. It won't work. Dean's forte is that he opens interesting avenues of discussion... not by what he says so much, but by the misinterpretation of what he says. If everyone agreed with him, there would be no controversy and (in my opinion) not as much discussion.

For example, his current predicament. Many folks still think what he said was HIS opinion of the reasons behind the Spanish bombings.

He was merely quoting the Al Queda statement of responsibility for the bombings. He mentioned this atleast twice in his interview, but there are many many people here (and elsewhere) who think and are helping to perpetuate the fiction that it was Dean's opinion.

He understood the reasoning behind the statement, but he NEVER said he agreed with the reasoning.

One of the best ways to begin stopping something from happening is to atleast UNDERSTAND why it happens.
