First, let me say that this debate has been very fruitful.

Any debate which encourages, no, demands such a level of thought to engage
in and follow is essential to future of the parties around the world.

Any issue of such complexity requires debate like this, proven by the length
of this debate.

American political history is rich with stories of how debate like this led
to great good, so rather then try to avoid arguements like this one, we
should actively seek them out. By accepting people of different viewpoints,
we may suffer a diluted conviction, but we gain a wider view of the whole
issue.
