I have long wished that people on all sides of most issues realized that people on the other side of that issue are not evil villains. They are people who wanted the same goals, but have different ideas about how to achieve them.
Sometimes we might really have to stretch our minds to remember that, and to see how the other people might feel, but I have always hoped that people would make the effort.
And Republicans don't have the corner on this tendency. :) I think it's human nature.
As someone who frequently (tho certainly not always) votes Republican, I can assure you that I don't even know what I think of the war myself, and I don't vilify those who believe it is morally wrong.
