Hell, had Bush been president during WWII, GST would have been supporting Hitler and Mussolini..

Well ...it was good enough for Charles Lindbergh, Joe Kennedy, England's Crown Prince and lord knows how many others. I don't think GST would have made much difference.

The interesting thing about the WWII pacifism, is that it never really went away post Pearl Harbor. Churchill was given the boot practically the day after it was over.

Long before it ended, the fear of US war mongering was so great that we had people falling all over themselves to give away military secrets to Stalin purely for principle rather than cash.

Pacifism, like poverty and disease will never be eliminated. Goes with the territory when you enter The Deadly Dichotomy Zone.

Just be glad they are prohibited from shooting you because, like war, if it doesn't kill you... it only makes you stronger. If you think about it, in a Deadly Dichotomious way, you could argue that "making your killer instinct stronger" is it's true purpose. <Hoo><Haa><Hoo>
