And the defeatism and cynicism of the anti-war people will not help one person nor prevent one terror attack. Actually, it's neither. It's the belief there are better ways to do foreign policy than bullying other countries.

<the defeatism and cynicism of the anti-war people > So, the only choices are: 1. kill 2. do nothing No other choices? The two leading pacifists of the last century are King and Gandhi. Both advocated an aggressive, engaged, world-changing pacifism. There was nothing passive, weak, or yielding about either of them, in what they said or what they did. They were not cynics; if anything they were over-optimistic about humanity's ability to improve itself. And they changed the world.
