I think people are becoming more willing to call a spade a spade. That is, Islamic Fascists is being used in reference to terrorism and terrorists than it ever was before. I'll be glad when we can just say Islamic Fascists are evil and must be eliminated.

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. Maybe you are trying to be too nice. :) At least you are implying that it is the antiwar zealots that you find objectionable, not just everyone who was antiwar. That's fine. I find the Nuke them all! whackos hard to take, too. Reasonable people can comprehend that other reasonable people can look at a picture and wind up with differing conclusions, like the famous optical illusion of the young/old lady. I can't see you saying that anyone who didn't believe that the invasion of Iraq was a necessary step at the time is just blind? Could it not be that the dots connected differently for people and formed a different picture? Or that the picture is the same but the reaction to it was different? You lost me with the righteous indignation. I just saw the dots but thought that invading Iraq was the wrong call at the wrong time for the WOT. It deflected from Bin Laden, stretched our resources, and most of all, I thought the preemptive nature was an alarming change in philosophy and still do. Of course, we can't know now what the alternatives to not entering Iraq would have been, so it's all kind of moot. And we are there, so it really doesn't matter who wanted it or not at this point.
