Ray, PNAC looks more like a "Department of Offense", which I view as radically different than a "Department of Defense". Where I part company with what I tend to view as the typical philosophy of peace movements, is the concept that war is never justified. IMO there's a failure to connect the dots between the freedom we enjoy and the blood price of that freedom --- similar to the concept that living in wood houses is good but logging is bad. As I see it, there's an element of personal responsibility missing at the core of any pacifist movement. There's a difference between being strong enough to defend one's self, coupled with a moral responsibility to refrain from using that strength to attack the innocent, and the concept that all conflict is morally wrong. The very fact PNAC exists proves the fallacy of the latter. As long as there are those who would embrace strength as justification to attack others, society, individually and collectively, must be willing and able to defend itself. QUESTION: How do 5 people gain control of a plane with 80 people on board? ANSWER: By boarding a plane loaded with pacifists.
