I finally got around to reading (could've sooner, but wanted to give it the time and consideration it deserves). I'm really, REALLY impressed. No random mind vom or cliched political spew like the rest of the op/ed page. You back up everything you said and cited a variety of sources. I also like how, though you clearly have your opinion on the issue, you don't force it. Instead of giving the answer, you ask a question.
