New Zealand pacifists:
nzhistory.net.nz

Burton, Ormond Edward Teacher, soldier, war historian, pacifist, Methodist clergyman, writer.

Incidentally, I believe there are right now some Kiwi SAS soldiers in Afghanistan [in company with some British]. I imagine they are not pacifists.

Gee, Google is really smart. I thought I'd do a search and found things I didn't know. Here's my Dad's cuzzy-bro, Ormond [Michael Hardie Boys was the Kiwi Governor General in 1996]. google.com

It seems some people who like to think they are really manly like to attack pacifists. They could try grandmothers and kick crutches out from cripples too. The WTC attackers were called faceless cowards. I would call Bean Laden heroic compared with the cowards who attack pacifists. Laden could have hung out in the lap of luxury in Saudi Arabia instead of spending a couple of decades on the warpath in Afghanistan [and elsewhere].

My Dad's cousin was prosecuted for speaking in public about his beliefs and was physically attacked by cowards brave enough to assault a pacifist. Then, the court was cowardly enough to consider him the criminal for being assaulted for expressing his ideas. The cowardly Methodist Church expelled him.

Plus ca change,
Mqurice
