I've been ill and haven't been able to read all the replies, but after listening to all the shock, fear, and anger expressed last night on WBZ Boston, I was struck by the following irony:
Boston liberals recoil at the idea that the city overreacted to these ads. The city had to act based on the information it possessed. But on the other hand, Boston liberals refuse to apply the same logic to President Bush's actions in Iraq.
I just find it interesting.
That is an EXCELLENT point, zook! Just excellent!
