I try very, very hard to see as many sides of a story as I possibly can. Although people may disagree over ways and means and even the relative values of goals, everyone is a human being and, as such, deserves at least the respect due their humanity.

I pride myself in being able to participate in reasoned debate, regardless of the strength of my personal feelings.

Shawn's nephew, Daniel, was stationed in Fallujah.

To quote our friend, Ian, I dispair at the evil being done in my country'same.
