Progress that isn't

Is it possible to get things wrong FOREVER and still keep on keeping on?

Reuters covers the erosion of Bush's - and, thanks to him, American - credibility on two fronts:

Iraq:
Four years after he began the Iraq war, a diminished President George W. Bush has sacrificed much of his domestic agenda and eroded U.S. credibility abroad in pursuit of the sort of nation-building he once scorned, analysts say.

And global warming:
"On two issues, the United States were the only ones who spoke against consensus," German Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel told reporters at the end of the two-day meeting, which he chaired on behalf of Germany's G8 presidency.


What will happen if the US builds a successful democratic multi-ethnic secular society in Iraq, and if someone produces cast-iron evidence that human beings have not caused the earths climate to warm up? Both are entirely possible. According to the 'progessives', neither can happen. And if they do? Will shame and remorse sweep across their rainbow ranks? You know thats not going to happen. Why not? Is it too much to expect that people who constantly get things wrong because they can't be bothered to learn any facts apologise for yammering away constantly on the public airwaves?
