Hi K,
I read your essay, from the WP, you posted tonight with great interest and very... c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y, I might add.. .. with all the contradictions of a simplistic argument.. By that I mean, not looking at another way FIRST of achieving a solution .. A peaceful solution is always IMO more long lasting. Like Clearisil on a pimple never works in the long term, but only covers it up.. But maybe looking for the underlying cause might.. Like too much Chocolate, like too much Oil... I don't know...
It also points out a SI maladay... taking the easy way out and becoming a "cheerleader" to violence when your ass or those close to you, or others far away,, are not on the line..
So I will side with the current administration, meaning in my mind, Colin Powell, for looking for a more LONG TERM peaceful solution..
And therefore will NOT look to the "fat soft under-belly' of the US as expressed by many members of SI, literally and figuratively, I might add, for advice.. I will never look for blood as a knee jerk reaction First, but I will,, if only ALL else fails.
So I guess I am a situational pacifist..
