Reply #103: Logical Fallacy [View All]

[NJCher]

So...we are creating more terrorists with our messed-up foreign policy...but simultaneously we refuse to believe those newly-created terrorists want to harm us? Are these newly-created terrorists sitting around playing cribbage or something?

You've created an either/or argument where none should exist. Fact is, both can be true.

We can believe that bushco policies are creating more terrorists.

We can also believe that the terrorist threat is hyped or outright false--but also that there are some authentic terrorists who seek to harm us.

This is not an either/or proposition and I'm surprised that you, a former teacher, would frame it as such.
