Letterman, O'Reilly and ignorant Americans

I now this is like a month old, butI watched the Bill O'Reilly v David Letterman interview today in two segments: Part 1 and Part 2

Besides the lack of timeliness, I was amazed at the ability of both of these men to do three things:
  • stay in character
  • make a worn-out conversation interesting
  • and, do an equal amount of talking over one another and have an actual conversation.

I am also amazed about some of the ideas that people come up with when listening to Bill O'Reilly. This was one of the posted comments to the video.

Arghan is not a democracy, go after Kim Jong Il. They're going after Saddam because he was going to adopt the Euro as currency for Oil deals... which would fuck the US economy.

Please.
I think they are talking about Afghanistan not being a democracy, and no one said they were.
Go after Kim Jong and the North Koreans, oh, that's a great idea .War on 2 fronts...
And, my personal favorite, Saddam was going to join the EU!?

The European Union would never in a million years have emitted Iraq under Sadaam's regime. They won't even emmit Turkey. Muslim nations, terrorists nations and regimes that commit massive humanitarian violations will never be considered for membership, but more than anything, Iraq was under an American embargo up until the invasion. Bringing Iraq into the Union would have jeopordized Europes trade with the US. Unless the US fell from power, it would never happen.
