If he hasn't been wronged, then no one acted improperly....

I'm not sure I get that. One can both do wrong things and be wronged, can't one? If they acted improperly, why would you say that those who acted improperly didn't wrong me?

Reading today's news I was struck by one minor parallel between the situation here and that in the Middle East. Obviously they are very different in scope, history, depth of passion (at least I hope nobody here has the desire to start suicide bombing other posters), etc., But in one way they seem quite similar. Both sides, in their hearts of hearts, probably recognize that they have gone overboard at certain times in the way they have acted toward the other. But neither one is willing to publicly admit it until the other is, too. And there's the neutral observer. Amnesty International has accused both sides in the Middle East conflict of human rights violations. You, here, have charged both sides with improper posting. But in neither case is that adequate to bring the sides to reconciliation. How can we possible believe it is possible to achieve peace in the Middle East if we can't even achieve it here?
