There CERTAINLY no honor dying at the hands of some Jihadist religious fanatic merely because you're too pacifistic to oppose and confront them.

Appeasers/apologist like GST will never grasp the threat until they're at 30,000ft over the Atlantic and one of their fellow passengers jumps up with a hearty "Allaho-Akbar!" and terminates the flight prematurely.

There's a growing isolationist movement in the US that may be the harbinger of the next world wide conflict. The same isolationist sentiments were being expressed before direct US involvement in WW1 and WW2. Any guess on the amount of humanitarian suffering that might not have occurred had the US gotten directly involved in WW2 in 1941 when FDR could see what was happening (same year as lend lease).
