'Is your statement "Do 19 prohibited but non-WMD shells justify all the killing and mutilation on both sides? " a Red herring, Sentimental Appeal, or Non-Sequitur? I guess you hit all three..."

Well, b bruce, words are not my medium, but I tried to explain what I meant by "Do 19 prohibited but non-WMD shells justify all the killing and mutilation on both sides?" I admitted it was not to be taken literally. Go back and read the explanation. [06 Jul 04 - 08:41 PM ]

I didn't think it was a Red herring or a Non-Sequitur, but I intended it to be a Sentimental Appeal. "Stop the car, you're about to run over the baby!" is a sentimental appeal, and I believe it's worth saying in some circumstances.

Now, if it please you, answer my other sentimental question: if you think this is a just war why aren't you and/or your children over there helping fight it?
