Actually, the only reason I'd bring something like this up here is for my own edification - not to persuade anyone else. So, yeah, I do want people to disagree with me to listen - at least enough so they can tell me exactly why they think I'm wrong.
And maybe (probably?) I
am wrong - and this forum has a lot of folks who don't have a problem with "calling bullshit" - and we come from all spectra of the political landscape.
If we all get into just repeating polemics (both left: "the US is the problem", etc. and right: "They hate us because we're free (or non Islamic)", etc. ) then, yeah, it'll be a total waste of time. And it might be a totally stupid idea to even dream that something like this might be a good idea - which is why I started with having a conversation
