Thank you, a most lucid and polite discourse in both your article and between you and several of the commenters who have engaged you. Your attention and clarity in stating your views whether they be divergent or not from the comment is what this platform is about.

A logical, polite discourse to a humane and mutually respectful closure of this conflict is what all parties should want. Sadly, when reviewing the rhetoric from the political factions, I must add... if only they did.

Thank you for the contribution. K
