This is so very frustrating. I hate that we can't seem to come to some understanding of this. I wish I had some brilliant way to fix it so *all* posters felt they could stay, remain civil, feel safe and be heard. I see it as so very possible. But I'm at a loss as to any way to help that happen.>>
It isn't your fault. Politics is an inherently nasty subject. At this moment we are making plans to nuke Iran to stop them from having nukes. This strange dilemma was the reason Bush, Sr. and Mr. Powell elected not to take Baghdad all those years ago- it is *convenient* to have people be most uncivil to each other, strange bedfellows and all that- shame about the Kurds.
Kissinger realpolitik looks like an idyll compared to what we are contemplating now. And that was bad enough.
