The big anti-war demonstrations yesterday appear to be a big fizzle, with low participation and not much media coverage. One can only wonder what the airhead antiwar crowd is thinking. It has always seemed to me that pacifists are those who believe if we just ignore our attackers, they'll get tired and go home. The futility and stupidity of this position was well described by a Christian philosopher, William Ralph Inge (1860 -1954) who wrote: “It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favor of vegetarianism while the wolf remains of a different opinion.”I like the quotation from George Orwell that says "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
As for the cute airhead protestor at the right, someone ought to teach her the difference between a Mercedes emblem and a peace symbol.
