[QUOTE="Jones, post: 105256, member: 4805"] It's not all that surprising really. It's a very human trait to become emotionally invested in your beliefs and stop examining them critically. Heck, just look at all the people who believe in "crystal magic" or the healing power of magnets. In the case of the WMD's in Iraq (or rather the distinct lack thereof), I get the impression that for a lot of people the real stumbling block is not admitting that they were wrong, or at the very least badly misled, it's admitting that the people on the other side of the political spectrum might be right about something. It's a symptom of how great the political divide has become in this country more than anything else. [/QUOTE]
