kholt, you always want to explore topics....But it seems you only want to discuss ideas you agree with. I obviously said something that bugged you. Whatever it was was inadvertent. In any event, this assertion seems odd to me. What is the point of discussing topics when agreement is a given? It is only when there are different experiences and points of view constructively represented that discussion is interesting and useful. To me, anyway. I understand that some people engage for validation so they seek out pre-agreement but I'm not one of them. But then, maybe you don't consider any of the terrorist attacks of Khobar Towers, US Embassys', WTC I, and of course 9-11, murder. Of course they're murder. Why might they not be? If the "underpriviliged" or anything similar, are told for years, and years, that their situation is ALL the fault of the Americans, there is bound to be some fall out from this. It would seem so. Mine is a question that I personally think we should think about. I'm game to consider any question you'd like to discuss.
