They know that if they stopped pulling the trigger, we could get the place rebuilt and get out of there. The longer they fight us, the longer we're gonna stay. |
I like people that cut straight to the heart of a complicated subject and get it right with no frills!!! Right on Raina  |
What you are suggesting here is a catch 22. So if we weren't there they wouldn't be pulling the trigger, but if they weren't pulling the trigger we could get out of there? How about we shouldn't have been there in the first place to begin this cycle of events? |
I think your evaluation of
Raina's evaluation is off slightly. In my judgement, it isn't a "Catch22" because if "They" would "stop pulling the Trigger" (a viable option that would benefit ALL involved) the "cycle of Violence" would end and the situation would be resolved.
Your
alternative response,
"How about we shouldn't have been there in the first place to begin this cycle of events", is NOT EVEN an "Option"! So
Raina's evaluation is Eons beyond your's as a means of resolution.
Dont'cha think so?
