Re peace-nik, warmonger, and other terms of abuse:

It is rude to call anyone by a label they don't accept. It is a form of linguistic imperialism, an attempt to control others by making them wear a mask of your choosing, not theirs. Labels, the names for things, are crucial to controlling the debate.

I suggest the terms Dove and Hawk.

I'd also suggest that the ideal creature is a chimera with a Dove's head and a Hawk's claws. Like the Swiss.
