All wars are brutal, ugly and inhumane. And it seems to me that that ugliness has impacted DU.

112. I insist on

making my position known and the reasons for it, but I don't attack people. But, I most often post a contrary opinion because "I agree" posts are mostly just wasted space in my opinion.
I only wish many would do the same, I get very aggressive responses from a lot of people here on many subjects.
I don't expect I'm going to change anyones mind on any particular subject, I just like to lay things out for the purpose of sparking thought when I can. This current situation in Israel is no different. From my perspective, past events in this area are irrelevant in this moment, this attack was pure evil with no other intent than to shock the world and stoke the fires of division.
I try to keep reminding myself that this is a very difficult situation that has a lot of history, and people are very upset over the brutal and evil attacks. I am among those.
Many of us can't offer solutions, we just know that we are very upset. It would be nice to be able to vent and express that among friends who understand. I'm not a foreign policy expert, I'm just some average guy with an internet connection. This incident in Israel has us all upside-down, and it's especially tough because as an unknown average Joe, there's nothing I can do about any of it. It's a very emotional thing for us all.
