>>I'm with you on this one, Paul. Between the allegations that people who support war against Iraq are baby killers,

I haven't seen any of that since I cracked down. Have you?

>> and that we exult in the idea of war

I saw a general statement that this is something to avoid, which is true.

>>and such, I am again questioning whether it's worthwhile even making the effort.

no effort, not happening.

>>I expect that if I were to call people who oppose war against Iraq baby killers because they oppose taking action to stop Saddam, or if I were to say that they exult in torture for the same reason, FL would say this was out of bounds.

You would be correct.

>>What say, Ken? Can I say that Stephen and JohnM etc. are baby killers and exult in torture because they don't support military action to stop Saddam?

Of course not. Why do you ask such a silly thing? You already know the answer.

>>Are there no limits to the rhetoric being used against people who believe that war is necessary?

Sounds like you haven't been paying attention. Do you have any more specific questions I can answer?
