Don't think you even need to defend yourself against
this type of Bonkerism. I'd love to hear more (civil)
interviews with the Enemy, since it's mostly just
screaming and ranting between us and Them (I'm a big
offender myself).

Fisk made the point a while back that there was
virtually no real dialogue between prowars and antiwar
activists, and that this was detrimental to the peace
movement.
