<blockquote><blockquote>I know it because it was the conventional wisdom in a timeline that actually occurred. It's not like I'm making it up.</blockquote><br />The fact is you have a much laxer burden of proof for your own statements than you do for others.<br /><br />And your use of 'timeline' is bizarre to say the least. </blockquote><br />Not at all. I'm referring to your claim to know what would have happened in an alternate universe. "Timeline" is a term used in science fiction for this sort of speculation. As in, what would have happened if the Axis had won WW2. PK Dick wrote "The Man In The High Castle" about such a world, but he knew it was fiction and didn't claim that he "knew" his book was how it would all have worked out, which is what you are doing here.<br /><br />Obama's speech against the Iraq war was one of the centerpieces of his campaign. Of course I can't "prove" that Hilary Clinton's support for that war was what killed her candidacy, but it sure didn't help. Disagree if you want. But at least here we're talking about things that actually happened.
