“when everyone gets to the edge and stares into the abyss for awhile” – buddy larsen.

Did we not do that already ? No ? Well, I guess my nervous disposition is showing again.
I agree with those who are arguing for caution. I am not undertaking to agree with Cedarford about Everything, but he is right to sound warnings when there seems to be some much enthusiasm for what will happen when people start pressing buttons. This conflict has already killed too many, and ruined the lives of too many others. Making it bigger is unlikely, imho, to fix anything.
I also regret the splenetic tone of many of the comments on this subject. I know, I only started commenting here recently, but I have been reading here since the days of PossumTater, and I think we need more of the erudition and wit which has traditionally distinguished this site, and less of the twist of lemming.
