sometimes I lose patience with people who think they know everything about this war – whose fault it is, what’s going to happen, which leaders should be erased, etc.  that’s when my weird sense of humor kicks in and I start defending even known villains and madmen.  And the phone goes silent or the email breaks off.  that means it isn’t worth even arguing with me and they have to find some excuse to get off.  what I’m intending is to open up the possibilities, and maybe hint that we don’t have all the information to decide exactly what should be done.  One thing is certain – we have to constantly examine our reasoning and the sources of our information.
