Anders and Kaj. I don't want any misunderstandings to be done here. The interview with Mauricio Rojas that I made for Swedish National Radio was not a debate. I was in charge of editing and my mission was to create feelings, images and thoughts in the head of listeners, not to win a discussion.Actually, if I had been any clearer with my own views during the interview, I would have been convicted by "Granskningsnämnden", an organ that garantees the objectitity of Public Service-media in Sweden.

And Anders, please don't call me pundit nor politician. I am a journalist. There's no reason for you to treat me in a disrespectful way, right?

Gene, the fact that one supporter does not know of a good response at one moment does not prove that a good response will never be found. But it is at least evidence that responses tend to be weak. If it were not evidence, then we could never take anyone's arguments made as evidence about the strength of arguments on a topic, and so shouldn't listen to anyone.
