If you care to read another technical article on the same topic, check out the April 2002 copy of "Communications of the ACM." It contains several articles from researchers delving into similar usenet data. It is a great issue with a nice combination of neat ideas, illustrative articles and appliable research. (Volume 45, Number 4). If you are an ACM member, you can read from portal.acm.org. Non-members can see the authors and tables of contents.
Your friend's comparison of "nothing is worth war" to the current situation obfuscates the message of many opposed to this conflict. I have a great respect for those in uniform. I would prefer they be kept out of harms-way until an aggression occurs. We lived in a careful balance of deterrence that has now been stamped void.
Finally, I disagree that a creature so miserable and unwilling to fight for freedom, be it with rifles or words (and recall which the (american) founding fathers used first) can be made free by any external force, better or not.
