Carrie.. here's where I give Char a ton of credit and you.. not so much.
She read what you wrote and responded with a set of facts that contradicted your statements. You pointed out to her that she misunderstood your post, and you rightly corrected her.
Here's the difference....
She went and found the correct information, and acknowledged her error... in other words, she did the research to understand what you were saying and why and conceded that she was wrong in understanding your intitial post. The point is, she DID make an effort to learn and gather the correct information about your take on things.
Did you ever click the links I sent to you and the infrastructure damage in Iraq?
