Thread Name: Middle East Problems
Subject: RE: Middle East Problems
Can we at least agree to stop sending falsely signed, fabricated messages? Can we at least show respect for all parties in this dispute while still advocating our points? Do we at least have the confidence in our point of view to express it honesly and without racist allusions or derogatory references? The easily aroused bitterness and hatred here destroys all hope of intelligent discussion, and drives away thoughtful participants. Even worse, it stirs up the same ugly emotions so rampant in the Middle East today. Can't we do better than this?
