Wait. Did you read ALL of what I posted, or just some of it? I think you may have misunderstood me.

Don’t you think the Army’s tolerance of Maj. Hasan’s venomous diatribes was a problem?

Don’t you think the Army should have actively dealt with Hasan BEFORE he started shooting people?

Don’t you think that the Army’s tolerance of Maj. Hasan’s expressed opinions enabled him to do what he did?

Don’t you think that the Army FAILED w/resp to its handling of Maj. Hasan in light of his KNOWN anti-American sentiments?

Don’t you think the Army needs changing w/resp to how militant Muslims in uniform are being handled, and future on-base shootings might be prevented?

See, I think that you and I would answer all of those questions pretty much the same way:

I DO think the Army’s tolerance of Maj. Hasan’s venomous diatribes was a problem.

I DO think the Army should have actively dealt with Hasan BEFORE he started shooting people.

I DO think that the Army’s tolerance of Maj. Hasan’s expressed opinions enabled him to do what he did.

I DO think that the Army FAILED w/resp to its handling of Maj. Hasan in light of his KNOWN anti-American sentiments.

I DO think the Army needs changing w/resp to how militant Muslims in uniform are being handled, and future on-base shootings might be prevented.

I would have expected that you would think likewise about most all of those things. So, do we or don’t we have a shared perspective here, and — if not — where do we differ?
