What dan909 endorses is fine, but it's not the same as the generally accepted definition of pacifism. Webster's says pacifism is "opposition to war or violence as a means of settling disputes, esp. on moral or religious grounds." This means a pacifist does not believe we should be settling our dispute with the Taliban with military force, under any circumstance. Those who believe in righteous self-defense may be justified, but they are not pacifists.
