War is peace: We are All Pacifists Now

"Diogenes, who searched high and low for an honest man, might as well have taken his lamp in search of a pacifist. As opposed to those who disguise themselves as such, in America, real pacifists are almost as rare as virgins in a whorehouse. Every aggressive pacifist I have ever come across, understood pacifism to mean, 'My friends and I can kill, but our enemies may not.'"

The Pacifist can say anything they want.
I for one, really couldn't care less.
Because I'd still be watching their hands; both of 'em, & until they were completely outa my sight.

Getting brained by someone while they're gently telling me how much I'm loved is still getting brained; no matter what its called.

At least that's the way it is in my book.

from the article:

During the Gulf War, and now during the "War on Terrorism," we have frequently heard from "peace" and "anti-war" activists, whose concern is not with preventing bloodshed, but with helping America's enemies kill us.

we saw it on c-span this last weekend "global intafada" "global intafada" ... sigh.

If other countries could handle their own problems, we would not have to pick up a gun and go to war, usually to save their dead-beat pacifist a$$es.

Global intifada? (Al Qaeda?) Do tell!

Like our European "allies," who expected us to bail them out in what was left of the former Yugoslavia, and since then have had nothing but criticisms of us in our own war against terrorism? (Not to mention, the Kuwaitis and Saudis, in 1991.)

Mostly meant for the French....They even screwed up on building a canal and had to be bailed out, not to mention all the wars where they had been and failed miserably.

Oh, but that can't be right. All the French were Resistance fighters! Don't believe those nasty rumors put out by their cultural inferiors, that say that the French killed the Nazis with kindness. And never forget (like the Miller ad says), the French gave us mayonaisse!

[RasterMaster]

Something happened after WWII....they became pacifists. The war I was thinking of was Vietnam. But there are many others in history that the (English and) French had colonized and led to later war.
