67. For the LAST TIME: I am NOT interested in YOUR "specifics"
I reject the argument you are attempting to attribute to me. I reject your insistence on making a modern day US-Libya analogy (which the OP, in its wisdom, did not do). I have absolutely no interest in playing "who's the real world Gandalf and who's the real world Sauron" with you. I don't know how many times I have to make that clear. You, unlike the OP, unlike me, are attempting to make some neat LOTR analogy out of current events. Tom Bombadil may have been a pacifist, but he was no coward. However, some pacifists - who have no ready LOTR analogy - enjoy portraying those who are not pacifists as morally inferior. They do not make such tidy distinctions between "non-pacifists," as evidence in their sweeping grandiose statements such as "all wars are wrong!" If you do not believe that such people exist, then bully for you. But they do, and it'd be nice to see the same consideration asked of them as is asked of people who would make generalizations about pacifists in this OP.

And if you are still going to pretend to be obtuse about my point, you may officially have the last word. I'm done riding on this carousel of pointless repetition. Have a good night.
