I don't need to remind long-time posters of the attention that major international media outlets have paid to the political debate laid down in this very forum. Less than one year ago, we achieved the holy grail of discussion forums - we were featured in a BBC television special. Several of our members discussed the situation in Iraq in front of an audience that likely numbered in the tens of millions. For a time at least, the rants laid down by members of this board were significant on a worldwide scale. I think history alone deems that political discussion on Dallas-Mavs.com should continue.
