I do not consider the willingness to kill a strength.
Not sure what you mean, sounds like liberal pablum.
Tell that the the men on D-Day. Tell that to the men who battled on Iwo.

There are many people that advocate the ostrich philosophy of pacifism, love, peace, harmony, rest and relaxation. They will stand by with a look of indifferent indolence crossing over their face while their wife is raped, their infants heads smashed against the wall and lastly they will smile all while they are beaten to death. Under no circumstances will they kill or injure the attackers as it is not virtuous and they will be virtuous at all costs!
Then you are unwise.

Huh?
Is your screen name a misnomer, or have you simply learned nothing from your host countrymen?
The name Netanyahu comes to mind.
