The ring must be destroyed. Such power, even in the hands of the kindest of creatures such as Hobbits, will eventually seduce one towards evil. We must make sure that no one ever gains as much power as Bush ever again.

To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.'  Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence.  Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains.  Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

From GoBlue's quote: Rumsfeld said the United States and the United Nations have no obligation to prove that Iraq has continued efforts to develop nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. Instead, he said, Iraq must prove that it has abandoned them."

While this looks somewhat fallacious, I think it is better phrased here (and thus not fallacious):

In early December, inspectors reported locating a dozen artillery shells filled with deadly mustard gas. But that finding was not a surprise. The shells were discovered by inspectors in the 1990s and tagged for destruction. That round of inspections was halted, and inspectors left Iraq because they were unable to get access to many suspected weapons sites. Part of the job of the UNMOVIC inspectors is to account for all banned weapons identified earlier.

Inspectors complained Thursday, as in the past, that Iraq has failed to provide evidence of action it says it took to destroy stocks of banned weapons after previous U.N. teams left in 1998. (fromthis article)
