^ that was pretty good - certainly, having the political "debate" degenerate into name calling from both sides of the aisle is part of the problem...nothing can come out of it.
Rather than simply dismissing legitimate arguments because they're "liberals" or "neocons" is the reason why there is such a divide...
I don't agree with his final assement however, that

We preach that unilateral action is always wrong. That position can be maintained only by people who do not have to make life-and-death decisions. It is cheap and immoral.

Ironic, as he rails against extreme comments/analogies as being counter productive to the political debate. And yet he ends it with an absolute statement - unilateral action is not always wrong, however, if that action is opposed by like minded countries, one must be open to the possibility that said unilateral action does not have its foundation based upon a position of moral authority.
