It's time for me to butt in and expose Pat's emotional stupidity again. Pacifism is NOT cowardice, choosing not to use violence is not the same as running away from an enemy. There are those of us who believe that our will to not use violence is stronger than our enemies will to use it. Pacifism is not appeasing someone or being afraid of them (Gandhi, Martin Luther King, etc...we will possibly pay the ultimate price but being willing to die for what you believe is not the exclusive domain of right wing terrorists nuts like you who spread passive violence indiscriminately) or Islamic madmen who spread their own satanic hatred, or Israeli and Lebanese madmen who draw us onwards towards oblivion,  let me REPEAT choosing peace over war is not being weaker or more cowardly...(sorry about the BOLD everyone didn't mean to stir up old memories)
