Yes. I changed my mind a few times since I've been here. There
were positions I expounded and was called on that on further
reflection and following leads given here I decided I was either
mistaken about or my view was not balanced. The latest place
where I believe my view was not balanced was due to the
persistence of some folks that I look at what the US has done
both for the good as well as the bad. After 9/11, I started
looking for why people in many parts of the world might be that
angry with the US. What I found shocked and sickened me. I was
like many here in not being very aware of the dark side. But in
seeing that I lost sight of some of the good as well.
Gaining more balance, something that is in progress and not
completed or likely to be as long as I'm still thinking, does
not persuade me this war is any more correct. But I was out of
balance.
