or maybe you're right, I was misinformed and misled. the reports I read said nothing whatsoever about his even having a chance to speak, and focused on the house speaker's apology for labeling him a hero for having fought in WWII.
now I look forward to listening to his speech. I expect he will have denounced and repented his youth's mistakes, and called out the propaganda that drives peoples to invariably unjust and dangerous but very profitable wars.
but then, what would the house speaker be apologizing for?!? for having given voice to someone who made a mistake and learned better?
please do share your sources instead of arguing from your position of privileged information with others who don't know better. don't assume I've seen all you have, or know all you have. I'm happy to be corrected when I'm wrong, and I thank you for calling out my incorrect assumptions and my mistakes, if that's what they turn out to be.
for as long as I only have reports that support each other, I have little reason to doubt them. now I have your conflicting report. it's not enough to establish a different certainty, but it does cast doubt (thanks), and if you can back that up, that's an even stronger case. and if the reports conflict, I can then use my technique to find common ground (and likely truth) out of conflicting reports, so I welcome your links to your sources about the matter. thanks
