New Re: wrapping up
Just want to wrap this thread up from my end. It is obvious to me we have not enjoyed this interaction nor learned from each other.

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.

New Re: wrapping up - another try

I was trying to reach out. 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

New Retch out?
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.
