Mack:  wrong, unless you're counting me as that one (and Deb Messling
has already volunteered to take that spot!).  I wrote on-list that I am
not a pacifist, and that I support our right to defend our country after
the September 11 attacks, which to me, includes the use of military
force.  

I did state that the "jury was still out" on the efficacy of military
force against organized terrorism, but that question is simply one of
twenty-first century warfare, and will come up again and again, I
suspect, no matter who the combatants are.  I certainly never said that
we should not be using military force now.

As Kakki reminded us yesterday, I think it's important not to assume we
know all of someone's opinions based on the sharing of a few.
