Brilliant, as usual.

"All we are saying, is give peace a chance ... "

What ignorant rot! What is needed is a tightly-focused war, and when our enemies are vanquished, a modest present-day Marshall Plan to help those countries build stable and peace-loving democracies.

I have often wondered how the pacifists of the 1930's would have acted if their views had been adopted. Would they have formed straight lines on the way to the gas chambers?

It is very disheartening to see college students (whose parents are shelling out tons of money) holding "teach ins" and "peace rallys." It reminds me of that Tom Petty song "Into the Great Wide Open" whose refrain is "A Rebel withour a Clue."

Such empty minds--full of idealism and void of rational thought. Minds that cannot even weigh moral choices and concepts. They can only shout, hope to feel superior, and hide their cowardice behind alleged intellect.

First came the resurrection of bellbottoms and platform shoes. Could the PeaceNiks have been far behind?

We should understand the "alienation" and "sense of grievance" against us by various people in the Middle East.

I can hear Al Gore saying this in my head, followed by pleas to light candles, hold hands, and sing chorus after chorus of "Give Peace A Chance".

Thankfully the "grownups" are now in charge.

Great article.

Pacifists don't seem to realize that peace can only come about when the rights of individuals are protected, and the inherent dignity of humanity is respected. The terrorists show no regard for other human beings. This threat must be stomped out in order for peace to exist. Peace is a by-product of protection, not simply an alternative to war. My two cents.

Anyone who is a pacifist should be viciously attacked.

The pacifists are motivated by several factors. Some hate their country on idealogial basis, and want their country defeated for the good of their ideology.

Some are frightened of war, and fear for their life and property.

Some are paid agent provacateurs of the enemy, paid to stir up public discord.

All of them need to be roundly condemned and detested, and actively opposed by all necessary means.

Giving aid and comfort to the enemy at time of war will not be tolerated.

See the original Star Trek (Season One) episode "The City on the Edge of Forever".

Says it all.

..."What a shame our schools and colleges neglect history, which could save us from continuing to repeat the idiocies of the past, which are even more dangerous now in a nuclear age."

Right on the money!!

The history of the Arab/Jew conflict is of course politically incorrect, it would disclose atrocities from many nations that have tried, time immemorial, to extinguish the rights of others. Had the last three generations been properly educated, they might be able to straighten some of this hostility out...not sit around feeling sorry and guilty according to some pacifist belief or worse yet, sit-com only knowledge.

The dumbing down of America is due to social engineering and socialist/Marxist...keep them from learning and we will rule the earth!

These dilusional people just don't understand. Their words fall on deaf ears. I could preach, and scream, and yell, and "kick, spit, and bite at the air", and it would not penetrate the thick skulls of these people. WE HAVE NO CHOICE!!! WE MUST FIGHT, AND FIGHT TO WIN! If we don't, we will be destroyed and so will our way of life. If they want to stand there with their hands behind their backs, FINE. For me, the choice is to lock & load! Sure, I may die but I'll take a hell-of-a-lot of the ememy with me!

It may be that these idiots lack the tactile response of survival, I don't know. We can thank the loving God above that they are the minority.

Fight on Patriots and ignore the distant whisper of the coward.

When I faced my first battle in Viet Nam I said a little prayer. "Dear God in Heaven......don't let me run...make me fight, and take my soul if I die, but don't let me run"! I didn't run...........Thank you God! I just wonder, how many times He has heard THAT prayer??

By hiding behind the "Ideal" of Pacifism,they can avoid the self loathing that would come with facing the truth!

Pacifism,is nothing more than the rationalization of cowardice!
