Re: A note on pacifism
A coward would not stand unarmed in front of a line of armored tanks. A pacifist might. There is a big difference, and all reasonable people know it.
There also comes a time when you need a soldier with a gun to get the job done. There is a place for both of these philosophies in the fight for human rights and dignity, and the fight does not go as well when one of them is missing.
