And I can see how a person might so fall in love with a place, or fall in love with an **ideal image of that place**, that they will defend it passionately and unrelentingly.

But that passion, commitment, and heart felt connection is not worth tens of thousands of lives and the suffering of hundreds of thousands of others.

It becomes a selfish escapist daydream bound in the pain and destruction of people who live under very real violence and cruelty.

This is wrong. It is profoundly unjust.
