In argumentation, it's an initial assumption that both sides share a
common goal -- resolving an issue in the best possible way.
That used to be partially true in politics, but lately I've sensed that
political ideologues would be happy to see the US destroyed if it proved
their points. In other words, that initial assumption of a shared goal,
the best possible course of action, that all sides want what's in the
national interest, no longer seems to apply.
Not trusting the motives of writers like Dowd, I see no merit in taking
up their claims and counterclaims.
