Do you think Bush analysed the issue as you did, and then came to your conclusions rationally, or do you think an irrationality stopped him from giving the idea of funding stem cell research fair consideration (fair judged by comparing it to how much consideration other similar research options get that he has no irrationality about)?
Also, do you think when The World said "would" this was meant to communicate an infallible guarantee, or simply that research will cure the disease, and this particular research is part of the correct path to finding the cure?
PS the 'would' thing may have been a picky point, but it was kinda interesting anyway. and i liked your response to gil.
