Wow. That was touching and raw. Sometimes, people write memoirs out of narcissism, but certainly not in this case.
Thank you!
And I continue to disagree with you over Gaza (but I continue to come back!)
Regarding the tragic death of Gazan civilians:
1) Blame Israel. This is the easy route.
2) Blame Hamas. They don't have to hide behind civilians.
3) Blame the West (us, and more specifically, you Glenn) for handing Hamas a PR victory for every civilian death.
We've given Hamas an unbeatable weapon, is it any wonder that they use it against Israel? Given their priorities, they're perfectly happy to use the corpse of their civilians to club Israel, and it's our condemnation of Israel that makes that strategy successful. Shame on us.
A firm statement by the West: "As long as Gazan leaders hide behind Gazan civilians, we're not going to condemn Israel for Gazan deaths" might go a long ways towards reducing civilian casualites -- what would be the point of their deaths if Hamas derived no benefit?
