33. Good points - but...
I agree that there are questions that demand a yes-or-no answer. But the OP is just as wrong by stating that the answer is NEVER in the middle. That is just not so.

Some are easy: Torture - no. Segregation - no.

Invasion of Iraq? I said no in 2002, but that was not an extreme position. You know why? We had a 'middle ground' policy of containment on a brutal regime that was working. We were neither condoning Saddam, nor engaging in a no-win quagmire killing tens of thousands of people.
