A difference of opinion

Dear Sara,

I respect your opinion about this and I hope you respect mine. I know what you said is true, that every Israeli is rejoicing, and even non-Israelis, like me----are also rejoicing for the freedom of Gilad Schalit,. It's the method of his release, the bargaining table, that I believe was questionable. Perhaps it's because I'm a jaded realist and you may be an idealist, that I don't see the honor in this.
