For the sake of reconciliation if I said the root of the problem was indeed minority of fanatics on both sides but there were perhaps a few too many fanatics on your side, would this be acceptable by you? Or would you want a 50-50 share of the blame?
Does it really matter who had the most or the least fanatic MR-from-NG.? It only takes a handful to mess things up. Just by having more, it does not mean the problem is any worse. It only took 19 fanatics to attack America on September 11th, and as a result, many thousands of innocents have died since when America retaliated.
We also saw on TV some people in the Middle East celebrating attack on America, and this too was fed to the Americans as to how much the Middle East hates America, which was also a way to get Americans to back the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. In short, Americans were duped by their leaders that all Arabs hate Americans. If it wasn't true before, it is more than likely true today. I'm always amazed how much crap people believe in what they are told by their leaders and what they see on TV . Is it possible, that you too were duped along with many other TC's in thinking, that a NO on the referendum was just a NO on AP and not a NO on the TC's. My cousin's husband was a YES on the AP, but was a NO on GC's. The point is, everyone had their reasons as to the way each person voted. Just because one plan failed does not mean other plans should not be tried, and so far, everyone is dragging their feet to get a new plan that everyone can respect without one trying to screw the other.
