You are, of course, correct about this. However, most issues can be visualized in such a way that the right and wrong of it is apparent. A great example is the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Talk about "gray area"! No black and white there, right? Wrong. There is black and white. The suicide bombings are wrong -- so much wrong that they crystalize for conservatives who is in the wrong. Most conservatives will admit there is some wrong on both sides, but the wrong of the suicide bombings is so outrageous that you can't even discuss the situation until that stops. Liberals, on the other hand, tend to have a more difficult time resolving what is wrong, coming up with a vision of how the Palestinians have been mistreated, etc. IT DOESN'T MATTER; there can be no justification for Arafat's actions.

Like most Americans, conservatives get to the suicide bombings and make their conclusions without looking any deeper. Whatever happened to your pursuit of integrity; the hard truths? There's more than meets the eye in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.......all that's required is a little research.
