Yes, I know you're right. I have kept quiet for years in the face of his and my daughter's liberal silliness and I've reached the point where I can hardly stand my own daughter, much less her husband. Any time I have ventured a contrary opinion they cop that superior condescending attitude. You know the one. I only have an M.Div. and years and years of compulsive reading, yet I don't know anything at all because I'm a Christian. That negates everything I know in their eyes.

Isn't it interesting how much the word 'God' freaks out liberals AND muslims??? Hmmmmmmm........

I have a great suggestion. Tell them that you are having a hard time understanding the differences between you and them. Tell them that since all of the opinions expressed by both sides are based on second hand knowledge which was read or observed on tv, that it was time some one went over and actually saw what was going on. Then offer one or both of them tickets to Iraq, with an itenariay that you chose, since you want them to gather facts for you to make sound decisions on.
They of course will refuse to go. However, from the moment that they decline, you can always remind them everytime a discussion comes up that you offered to finance a fact finding tour, but were refused the information you needed.
