I think you missed the part where I said that I don't buy it as a justification for our adventures in Iraq.

- SilasX 11y agoNo, I saw that. My point was that, even if you did justify the war by how it provided energy security, there were far cheaper ways to obtain that security.
- timr 11y agoWhich, again, had nothing to do with my point. I said that I don't buy it as an argument for the war. But I'm not trying to justify the war. I'm saying that the comparison made by the OP between the supercollider and the war isn't valid.
- SilasX 11y agoHow is it irrelevant whether research investments would have more efficiently achieved the war's aims? Why would that not validate the comparison between the supercollider and a war for energy security?
