      You are confusing by thread_killer2004-09-24 09:32:02
        No... by Naruki2004-09-24 09:40:59

            YOU misread, too. by Naruki2004-09-24 09:42:59
              I know. by McNutcase2004-09-24 09:44:06
                Nope. by Naruki2004-09-24 09:45:42

                      It appears our grammar differs significantly, then by McNutcase2004-09-24 09:57:58
                        I find that hard to believe. by Naruki2004-09-24 10:02:04

                                But you are wrong. by Naruki2004-09-24 10:34:29
                                and dictionary.com says otherwise by tigermouse 2004-09-24 10:51:43
where it does say, anyway. For what it's worth: "Note: The prefix non- may be joined to the leading word by means of a hyphen, or, in most cases, the hyphen may be dispensed with. The list of words having the prefix non- could easily be lengthened."

At any rate, if Naruki had meant it to be taken in the altogether, wouldn't a hyphen have been placed between "warmongering" and "peacenik"? They do seem to be used frequently in the on-the-fly-compound-creation.
