Well then, I think, BB, that we agree on most of the moral essentials. ;-) We just don't agree on how to go about expressing our opinions about them. I am bothered by what I think are double standards which give Israel an unfair break. You are bothered by what you think are double standards which give enemies of Israel an unfair break. You see Israel largely in terms of being a heroic "victim". I see Israel largely in terms of being an arrogant regional aggressor. More talk by both of us will do nothing to undo that conundrum, I'm afraid. No chance. It's a question of individual perception, and no amount of quoted info or logical blather about it will resolve our differing perceptions. It'll just consume a lot of keystrokes to no useful purpose.

As for Teribus, he and I will never agree about much of anything and it doesn't matter anyway.

Life will go on. Meaningless verbal victories will be vainly claimed by an assortment of restless, resentful minds which have apparently nothing better to do with their spare time than to pester each other at long distance via their computer keyboards.

If there is a God, I'm sure he feels great compassion for each of us... ;-)

By all means, BB, continue delivering your daily news bulletins, and I will drop in now and then and comment when I simply can't resist succumbing to the nagging temptation.
