Because I think that pacifism is disguised timidity and weakness, and that our military policy and oh-so-touted virtuous "peacemaking" army is an embarrassment, and it is high time we grew up, put the Vietnam War behind us, and understood, just like any adult in every time, that peace is only achieved through strength.

Says it all. Pacifists are cowards hiding behind big words.

PJ O'Rourke said it best--"We said we wouldn't fight, since we were convinced that this conflict was not one that threatened us. However, I highly suspect that if there was a conflict that did, we would make even more excuses for not fighting in that one."
