Not only the grounds of the opinion are forgotten in the absence of discussion, but too often the meaning of the opinion itself. . .

But if the U. S. were to leave now and abandon Iraq without establishing the grounds for a united country, that would definitely be a second mistake.
The rhetoric of theory is always in a bind. It pronounces ideas and denounces failures to accept or grasp them while insisting that there are no grounds either for accepting or grasping ideas.

Skepticism is not a denial of belief, but rather a denial of rational grounds for belief.
