Not necessarily. I probably would have a hostile reaction if someone said I was a flack for suicide-bombers (or homicide-bombers as they're being called more and more).

There's our difference. Some leftists play down Saddam's history in order to argue against the war. I have to say I appreciate your calm, reasonable tone and style of writing, somewhat of an anomaly on this list. Even the moderator says he wants a diverse list with no name-calling, but acts otherwise. But that's his perogative I guess.
