This was a great read. It reminded me of a time I had a very politically conservative friend at my house. He was browsing my bookcase and was appalled that I had a copy of Che Guevara's Motorcycle Diaries. I had to explain to him that it was for a comparative politics course I took in college. The professor for that class, God rest his soul, made the same point you're making here. My friend was still incredulous that I would have something from "the other side" displayed on my bookshelf.
Hi Gonzo, thanks for a great comment! I was thrilled when reading this last night, it made my day. It's great to know that a reader understood what I was trying to say. This "philosophy" of trying to understand both sides, or perhaps even more than both sides, is something we should all strive to do.

I'll have to check out Che's Motorcycle Diaries!
