Nice to hear from you. No need to shout. Last time I checked Bill was rather good at handling these sorts of things so it might be wise for you simply to leave this conversation to him. As for Steven's comments, we obviously disagree about them. Not unusual.

I'm with you on this one, Paul. Between the allegations that people who support war against Iraq are baby killers, and that we exult in the idea of war, and such, I am again questioning whether it's worthwhile even making the effort. 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. 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? Are there no limits to the rhetoric being used against people who believe that war is necessary?
