    Lee, I think, it's really admirable that you stay cool enough to answer Mike
    Wiiks cynical proposal with reasonable thoughts. This thread started as a
    satire and it kept going in this spirit. When I read Mike's fantasies I must
    say I came to the point where I thought, now this has definitely crossed the
    border of a satire because you cannot find out anymore if the sender
    critizises tendencies in video games and military precision with shocking
    pictures or if he does so because he would LIKE to take part in this "game".
    At least for me it was not perceptible from that.

    This fantasy of personalizing bulletts and bombs with it's obvious hate
    towards Iraqui civilians is so utterly disgusting that you cannot ignore it.
    Reason and arguments have long since left this thread. So I answered by
    firing back in the same spirit. Al least I found a term for my political
    viewpoint: I think I am a militant pacifist.
