> In general, it's hard to argue that people who condemn Mr Cosgrove's statement should be ostracized, while simultaneously claiming a lack of bias.

I don't see any disconnect as I didn't claim to be a block of wood. If we are going to ostracize people for supporting things, it should be people who support crimes in the state of high emotion. I sure wish they were ostracized after September 11th.

I'm sorry for misunderstanding you, I now understand that you don't see a disconnect there. Thank you for sharing your real view, your courage in sharing is inspiring, and I respect your integrity! :)

I read your "must equally face consequences" as promoting an admirable lack of bias. Likewise with your helpful comparison of the relative moral priorities of war crimes versus loyalties, which I saw as evidence of your support of impartiality and justice.

I appreciate you clarifying your position and owning your bias--even if you don't state what it is!--we all have biases, but if we are primarily led by them, and not by the more objective and impartial principles you also mention, it may be difficult to arrive at a satisfactory solution, or peace.
