Whoops, have to delay my trip home slightly.

Nobody, not you or I, can make an accurate call on issues such as this. By your defenition unless conclusions are draws after considering all relevent information they involve a degree of ignorance. I agree. The problem is we will never know what information the people that make these decisions had at the time.

In terms of the decision for Australia to go to war in Iraq, if I remember correctly it had bipartisan support at the time. As such both the Libs & Labs share guilt. They both thought it was the right decision.

The point of difference is on whether we should now stay or go. They obviously have different views on that, and that is something that a vote at this years election can be based on.
