re: It's all black and white...no shades or "nuance" ... take a complex topic and reduce it to slogans and convert the masses, cause it's simple and easy to understand...but wrong nonetheless. Al, it's the domino theory redux. If they get Israel, they get the world. And we've got the reverse domino theory working the with the neo's in Iraq. The domino theory has killed a whole bunch of folks over the years, and never produced a positive result. But it must sell, because it sure shows up a lot when kids are killing each other. John

Al, It's all black and white...no shades or "nuance" ... take a complex topic and reduce it to slogans and convert the masses, cause it's simple and easy to understand...but wrong nonetheless. Instead of denouncing brevity for lack of "nuance," you might want to explain why that viewpoint is wrong and what "nuances" are so important that missing them makes all the difference in the world. After all, people on both sides of the fence are demanding results, especially those with loved ones in the line of fire. A solution that only promises "meager" results isn't really worth fighting for unless both sides are willing to come to the table. Otherwise, we might as well wait until one side cries "uncle."
