22. What Else To Say?? How About Reality Is Often Nuanced
Edited on Tue Dec-01-09 01:55 PM by Beetwasher
And rarely black and white. So, we find ourselves....human...and conflicted...because we are intelligent, compassionate beings who realize the harshness of the spot between the rock and the hard place we now find ourselves in Afghanistan and in a myriad of other giant piles of shit that were left behind. There are a lot of shitty situations without easy solutions and every solutions sucks but we have to do something.

I don't like escalating. I hate it in fact. And while I may disagree that it's the best solution, I can't proclaim that I have all the facts at my disposal nor can I claim that any decision I would have made would have been any better. The truth is, I don't know what the best decision is or should be, so I have to trust the guy I voted for to make that decision and live w/ what he does... And I can be critical of his decisions, but still support Obama in a myriad of other important battles that we are faced with.

Human. Conflicted. Nuanced. Reality. :shrug:

Good post bud. :thumbsup:
