With us or against us. The pacificist disingenuously says he or she is against all fighting -- the implicit support of terrorists is obvious except to them. Ask them what have they done to stop further attacks. Are they putting their bodies infront of the speeding airplane? Got that, phil donohue?

Pacifism is evil, by this logic.

[KC Burke]

The devil is in the details. The specifics make all the difference as Burke would say.

First we must distinguish between those that hold Pacifism for convienience, personal whim, or political reasons from those who hold it due to religious office or long standing membership in a faith calling for such individuals to take that personal stand. For example, many Seventh Day Adventists have servered their country faithfully during time of war as medics. In fact they are noted for exemplarary service in this matter. The Society of Freinds has adherents that have been consistant with certain tenants in this regard for generations. This distinction makes the blanket claim of evil inconsistant with American tradition.

Secondly, we must look at Pacifists and distinquish those that advocate it for the nation in rhe face of ultimate defense and those who hold it on individual grounds only. The Pacifist that does such service as his country asks of him, save bearing arms, due to his religious heritage takes a lot of heat.

All I have to say to the pacifists is GIVE WAR A CHANCE!

[Search4Truth]

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. -- John Stuart Mill --"

I have a friend who is a TOTAL pacifist. She is now signing all her mail "An eye for an eye makes one blind - Gandi". (7k persons dead must not be enough for her to get angry)...What rebuttal shall I use? Any suggestions?

Excellent article. IMHO these pacifists have blood on their hands of the victims, murdered by the terrorists whom they protect.
