I don't either, but I think there are people like that
around! But they weren't -- insofar as I could tell
-- among opponents of the war here, though admittedly,
the opposition, at its height, was so massive and so
varied it included almost every type of person!

converts". People who didn't initially oppose the War
on Iraq? People who don't initially oppose a given
war? People who aren't among Eric's hard-core
not-necessarily-pacifist "anti-war" grouping but
oppose a/the war anyway?
