| 84. thank you for your courtesy |

It is much appreciated here and always at DU.
Indeed my position is idealistic, but it is strongly heartfelt and transcends all other considerations for me. While I don't get too emotional on subjects like Hillary and the DLC, both invoke a "feh" response from me which in turn has caused me to be accused of being pro-DLC and a Hillary apologist (I am neither), I am overwhelmed by the violence in the ME particularly in the context of knowing the PNAC boys are loving every minute of it. BushCo clearly has no intention of making any effort to stop it. And it is extremely frustrating that someone in leadership isn't screaming from the rooftops calling for an immediate ceasefire.
But that's me.
We all have deal-breakers; this is mine. It's fascinating to watch where people come down on issues. Those seeming to butt heads on one issue are simpatico on others. If people could only realize, believe, be okay with, and, hell, celebrate our differing points of view, that would go a long way toward a bit more harmony here at DU. Live and let live. Instead, people choose up sides and form cliques, tag teams so to speak, calling in reinforcements on threads. I found myself on the defensive for simply posting a piece of news that crossed my path.
I will reiterate and just so you know, if and when Al Gore comes out with a similar statement without calling for an immediate ceasefire, I will feel exactly the same. Yes, we Gore fans are just as effusive in our praise of him as the "Clarkies" and the "Kerryites," etc., but on this particular issue I remain steadfast in my convictions.
In the words of Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?" I am fine with the opinions of others, and I wish they would find enough room in their head to be okay with mine. I love nothing more than engaging in a respectful discussion with someone with a different point of view. It is enlightening. I don't like people second-guessing my intentions particularly when they don't have a clue who I am. If they gave me the time of day, they would realize I'm a pretty open and decent person.
Again, thank you for your kindness and consideration, something I value above all else here at DU and something I will not forget.
Best regards,
AK
