I was present on a list that you pinged to. I responded with my thoughts on your comments. I’m not trying to belittle your take on this. I am merely explaining my view of the subject you raised.
I have expressed my outrage at this event. That’s not going to change. The people most affected by the event are the people I will address my thoughts to, and keep in mind as I address this event.
From the moment this occurred, it became a human tragedy for the family, fellow military personnel, and their friends. I will identify the events that took place as a human tragedy, because this group of people are the ones I most want to identify with right now. This was a tragedy for them. It is a tragedy to me.
I remain outraged by the things you mentioned, that I should rightfully be outraged about. I support you there.
We shouldn’t waste our time arguing over this. You are entitled to your perspective and I am entitled to mine. This doesn’t change my mind about you. I still value your posts here and consider you to be a good guy. I even agree with your point of view to a point.
This event and the deficient policies that made it possible, are definitely outrageous. The event itself was also a human tragedy to the people my heart goes out to.
I don’t see my thoughts on this as trying to reduce the import of this violent act, or adhere to some PC mindset. I just think of the families first. Perhaps your mindset also takes them into consideration first. I can see how you could. I just see it somewhat different than you do.
Take care.
I had remembered reading this in the middle of the night and googled Hasan Obama transition team.
