Indeed it does, just like ignoring any complication of reality makes things simpler for us. However, to deliberately confuse or mislead ourselves, however much easier it is for us, is an utterly foolish and pointless activity. “Dehumanizing the enemy — at least in this case considering them to be savage animals — simplifies the matter of self-defense.”

It's a different perspective, and I hope my disagreement did not come off as a personal criticism of what I read on your blog. I have been reading OW for a while now and though I don't agree with everything you and your buddies write --- and that would just bore me out of your blog anyway --- I know that you know that we <em>are</em> on the side of good. Perhaps I misread: the headspace uncertainty works both ways. I thank you for your comment, and for the civility with which you approached me. Moe, point taken.

In the end, we are on the side of Good, and the terrorists are not. I require nothing else to continue. The above is not a personal criticism of you; I don't know what your own headspace is like, and I'm certainly not in a position to judge it. This is just what I'm using to motivate myself.
