It's hard to imagine anyone being more wrong.
Or attempting to be any more insulting. You are worthy of your namesake eb.
One can understand without approving. That's what you miss. That it is possible, even necessary, to understand a complex situation such as the Middle East before it can be handled effectively.
I could understand my kids coming home late - I didn't approve. That will go right over your head, as you will accuse me of trivializing. AND it's valid analogy.
And that's where neo-cons fail. They make no effort to understand, and accuse those who do of all manner of treason.
Proof - look at the messes they've created for which other people are dying.
