And don't forget Bill Moyers with Joseph Campbell on myths. It was very very insightful. I can't remember a better journalist than Moyers.

It's becoming less clear if we should try to maintain science out of politics. Althought it should be very clear to maintain religion out of the constitution and laws of any kind.

This Saddam-as-sample idea is brilliant. I admit that I was too narrow minded to have thought of that. My mistake.

But your last statement strikes me: "... it allows for facts to be presented by politicians who we know have an agenda, but facts are facts ...". I don't know if I got the meaning: "the facts will be the same regardless of who present them". Something like this?

Don't forget that History is written by the winners. And fact can be twisted over time. That's why History books across many countries do sometimes present controversy.
