Thanks, jang! I had an idea on the way to the station this morning, but I've lost it now.

two of your best friends in a fight & none wants to lose. both wants u to choose Bush-style; either u're with me or u're against me. how do u make the choice & why? based on what? please be honest & don't worry about being right or wrong. i wonder how would one make such difficult choices & live with it. do u dare ask a friend to make choices u dare not take yourself?

I will stick to myself. I don't change my moral beliefs for others. In this case, where I'm not directly involved, I'd stay out of it, and be a friend to them separately. I'd refuse to give any inside information on the other party, just my own point of view and advice.

There shouldn't be politics between friends. If they fight, fair enough. They'll either get over it and stay friends or not see each other again. If they start saying "I won't be your friend if you keep seeing them" then they're most likely too superficial to be worth the time.
