We don't even seem to have been able to agree to disagree. We haven't managed to reach an end where we can see each others point-of-view and respect it. That has been a dissapointment to me and I take it as my failure to adequately convey my views & to see yours clearly. I do consider discussing these issues to be very valuable and constantly rediscover the satisfaction when we here can put differing views and respect them as well as debate them. Occasionaly such discussions can seem to lead nowhere as it appears to me this line has. Irrespective of this outcome I trust we can debate other issues in the future and manage to earn each other's respect no matter if we disagree. Cheers Doug Good minds are extremely valuable to other good minds

No, Doug, we've not. Mainly because you've started with something I consider to be somewhat illogical - and are expecting me to agree with you 1/2 way. Your insisting I'm a bloodthirsty killer didn't help, either. :) In short: We're not targeting civilians now. You've yet to explain how that should change during Ramadan. The people who are "on the fence" won't be influenced by Ramadan - and most people have already made up their mind. So insisting that it will make Pakistan fall is irrelevent.... And so no, there's no agreeing to disagree. Whether we bomb or not is utterly irrelevant, and there's no upside to not bombing. In order to agree to disagree, you'd have to show me where there is one. Though I appreciate your tone, I think its unnecessary, but thanks for the polite wrap up. Addison

My post didn't try to lay blame at either your or my feet other than my failure to make myself better understood - my fault!. I won't respond the the new points raised as they are not making the thread any clearer nor helping us understand each other better. Probably achieve the opposite. Let us both hope that we can do better on other topics. Let this one die a natural well earned death. Cheers Doug

If you start with illogical premises, you reaching out doesn't make me want to hold out my hand so you can pull me into your twisted pit of viprous snarled logic. 1+1 = 2. If you say differently, there's no amount of reaching out or meeting halfway. There are many things that are, indeed, black and white with no shades of grey in between.
