I definitely understand your position. I've spent a lot of time thinking that I could think or reason or observe my way out of it. I think in certain senses I can never entirely disagree with it. However just recognizing that we are in the midst of any war is to identify that there are sides. There's going to come a time when you will be forced to pick which side you are on. And endlessly moralizing or justifying for who or what the enemy is - IS picking a side. And I don't think you want to be picking that side -deep down. I also don't want you to think I'm *against you* as a person.
