I assume the term "peace-niks" is meant to be a put down of folk who are critical of the US war effort. I think of them as responsible citizens who are exercising their right of public protest. One of the virtues of democracies. I believe they have every right in the world to protest. And I would defend that free speech right vehemently. Just as those who support the marches, should defend my free speech right to call them a peace-nik and disagree with their point of view. I also think they're hypocrites, who never raised a banner of protest when Hussein was torturing thousands, and murdering the Kurds on a genocidal level of brutality. Sorry to bug out, looks like we could have some fun tonight. Unfortunately, the boss is calling me to watch a romantic comedy with her. (knives would be a less painful form of death). :) Take Care, Michael
