Maybe the problem was with the question and not the answer provided by the debater.
I agree with that 100%. I'd say the one thing he really accomplishes is pointing out what a stupid question it is. Labels like 'rogue state' really have nothing to do with the activities of the said state and everything to do with the agenda of the government or individual doing the labelling; it was true when the US was using the term for all the governments they didn't like, and it's true when some pundit is putting forward an anti-Israeli agenda.
