Peaceniks, Pacificists and Anti-War Peacemongers

Pacifists versus Peace by Thomas Sowell (July 24, 2006)
There was a time when it would have been suicidal to threaten, much less attack, a nation with much stronger military power because one of the dangers to the attacker would be the prospect of being annihilated.

Fighting Terrorism and the Case for Pre-emption by Walter Williams (April 8, 2004)
Fighting terrorism as well as rogue dictators requires a policy of pre-emption. During the 1930s, there should have been a pre-emptive strike on Nazi Germany. Had Britain and France had the guts to do that, 60 million lives lost in World War II might have been spared.

Human Shields: The Moral Ideal? by Michael J. Hurd (June 28, 2003)
To anti-war activists, collective slavery is superior to individual rights because individual rights are selfish.

The Naked Hypocrisy of the Dixie Chicks by Carter Laren (April 29, 2003)
To mollify would-be critics, members of the fashionably anti-war aristocracy routinely toss the public slogans like, "we support our troops." But pacifists--even the Dixie Chicks--know this is hogwash.

Peacemongers Should Be Apologizing Not Marching by James K. Glassman (April 14, 2003)
Like Iraq's Information Minister, who said Tuesday that Americans " are going to surrender or be burned in their tanks," the anti-war protesters remain clueless.

"I Was Wrong." by Ken Joseph, Jr. (April 1, 2003)
I had been demonstrating against the war thinking I had been doing it for the very people I was here with now and yet I had not ever bothered to ask them what they wanted...Over and over I questioned them 'Why could you want war? Why could any human being desire war?' They're answer was quiet and measured. 'Look at our lives! We are living like animals. No food, no car, no telephone, no job and most of all no hope.'

Smashing Windows for Peace by Robert Garmong (March 28, 2003)
The goal of the protestors is to impose their anti-war tirades on a public that does not agree with them, and to do so by forcibly disrupting the lives of commuters, office workers, government officials and political opponents.

Loving Saddam, Hating America by Alexander Marriott (March 24, 2003)
As the war began Wednesday evening most Americans realized that whatever their position in the war debate was, hostilities had commenced and the time for debating was over. Except of course those who could be seen protesting in major cities and getting arrested, they still seem to think the debate is happening.

Saddam's Useful Idiots: Stalin Would Be Proud by James K. Glassman (March 21, 2003)
Anti-war protests are an important weapon in the arsenal of the most brutal dictator in the world.

Death to Dictators! by Alan Caruba (February 26, 2003)
I want a world in which there is no place for the holy warriors of Islam or the carriers of the Communist cancer that makes individuals slaves of the state.

Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal
by Ayn Rand
