I think it's fine to post personal opinions here, even speculation. I felt like this one was cynical, but not without precedent. Posting links to actions other governments have taken in the past would be nice, but it wouldn't prove the same thing would happen this time. So unless the counter-argument is "what you are saying might happen has never happened before, and could not conceivably happen now" then I don't think lack of support is damning either. Readers should take these rants with a healthy dose of salt, and those who won't probably don't care how they are presented anyway.
