This is similar to Orwell's position: You cannot be a pacifist when your country is attacked. It is very shallow to think that one is morally superior in taking a non-retaliatory posture. And, moreover, pacificism under circumstances such as these is very dangerous -- and immoral. Would these same people be pacifists if the threat were from Hitler? Or would they contrive some criticism of their own country to justify Hitler's actions? These people need to think...

The end result of pacifism under these circumstances is to support Bin Laden or some other monster who will continue to attack and eventually destroy us in the name of tyrrany.

Absolutely. I don't understand the urge to turn and blame your won country at a time like this. These libs are so hard-hearted and cynical, all while preaching lovey-dovey save the animals and all.
