Send the Peaceniks to live in Cuba, North Korea, Iraq, the former Afghanistan, China, sad etc. for 1 year. I guarantee they would have a change in attitude.

It very easy to be full of yourself when you have a full belly and a warm place to sleep...

It's the fad over the last few decades to want to "make a difference". The easy way out is to make some "anti-war" statements or some goofy protest, or otherwise "raise awareness". Rather than actually go out and do something concrete.

[In the mind of the peace activist, America is not just the sole superpower, it is the center of gravity for all world events; and so every world event is simply an equal (and sometimes opposite) reaction to a prior American action. Peace activists believe that America's economy and culture are such dominant forces in the lives of people throughout the world that the actions and policies of other nations can be interpreted only as mere reactions to the actions and policies of the United States government. Therefore, they believe America has the unbounded ability to manipulate foreign governments through economic and cultural means.

Peacenik foreign policy is really very simple: Without an action by the United States, there will be no reaction by others. If America does not start a war, there will be no war. This is the arrogant ethnocentrism of the peace movement.]

I was thinking something VERY similar yesterday, but this author put it much better than I could.

These are not anti-war activists, they are anti-conservative. They cheered Klinton's "progressive" war against Yugoslavia.
