Same here. I find myself often in the middle - Was it right to go there? No, not really. Is it right to pull out quickly? Probably not so much. We are soooo boned right now, it's not even funny. What I wish the country could see are those not on the lunatic fringe. Those from "the left" *not* defacing our monuments and memorials. Those from "the right *not* waving their guns and blowing up bombs, but who are genuinely concerned about a long-term future. You know - those from both sides who want to see our troops home, but want to make sure everything works out for the world.

We're in between a rock and a hard place. And this is pretty much the reason I don't talk politics like I once did. Outside of this fairly well-thought out group, everywhere else is just a bloodbath between the left and the right - where little common sense can be scraped off the battlefield. It's no wonder this seems like such a lost predicament when there seems to be no way for people to just meet eye to eye and try to understand one another.

Moonliner - thank you for going to the march on the Pentagon, and thank you so much more for your pictures and your words. They really meant a lot.
