It's easy to be a pacifist in the United States. They have the rest of us to protect their rights. I wonder how long the quakers would last in a typical middle east dictatorship? If you're not willing to fight for your country then go somewhere else or, at least, shut up

As Robert Heinlein once observed, "Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which someone accepts the benefits of the social group, refuses to pay his share of the cost, and claims a halo for his dishonesty."
