Knee-jerk pacifism Berkeley is struggling with a new kind of war. For some, dissent is lodged in long-held pacifist beliefs. For others, it's more muddled. University of California-Berkeley philosophy professor John Searle, author of a well-known account of student riots, spoke against the Vietnam War back in the mid-1960s. Yet today he talks of ``a certain knee-jerk pacifism of which Berkeley has always had its share.'' ``The whole moral equation is totally different now,'' Searle said. ``People opposed to today's war are opposed on rather unintelligent grounds, thinking that this bombing will somehow lead to a greater scope. People are out there planning to kill us. It's ridiculous to think we can lay down and let them.''
