Well, Rick, almost right. Where it break downs is that so many people
see everything as just black and white, right or wrong, victims and perps.
I think the event that changed my mind about everything being black and
white was when a couple of kids killed another kid in a very gruesome
manner. The kids were caught and of course there was a lot of
publicity, including a book that made the best seller list. In one
story there were photos of the home of the older child. I am not
defending the boy, he was put where he needed to be. But in the photos
of his home there was a cardboard box full of porn, all kinds of porn.
The place was a mess, there were beer bottles, broken-down furniture,
and just a horrible environment to raise a child. Now, don;t get me
wrong. I am not excusing the child's behavior, but I am saying that we
can not be surprised if that child has problems understanding the
difference between right and wrong. To my mind this kid was just as
much a victim as the child he murdered.

there are UN peace keepers, none of whom have died. Why not use that as
a idea?
There were obvious bad guys in Bosnia. The ethnic cleansing there was
very real, and very one sided.
There is no ethnic cleansing going on in the west bank and gaza.
There is nothing but surgical elimination of known terrorists, using
police and intelligence methods. While the MSM clearly identified the
bad guys in Bosnia, they carry the palestinian's water in Israel,
consistently misrepresenting their actions.
