Hip til Bertel Brander og ligesindede:

"The majority of pacifists either belong to obscure religious
sects or are simply humanitarians who object to taking life and
prefer not to follow their thoughts beyond that point.

But there is a minority of intellectual pacifists, whose real though
unacknowledged motive appears to be hatred of western democracy and
admiration for totalitarianism.

Pacifist propaganda usually boils down to saying that one side is as
bad as the other, but if one looks closely at the writing of the
younger intellectual pacifists, one finds that they do not by any
means express impartial disapproval but are directed almost entirely
against Britain and the United States ..."

Og så er der jo også de meget subtile pacifister som er selektivt
pacifistiske - fx er det ikke så slemt hvis USA bomber i Kosovo og
skaber enorme flygtningeproblemer, som hvis de kaster et par småbomber
i Somalia.

Kom ikke og påstå at Fanden ikke er forfængelig.
Røde svin er røde svin. Og det er de Radikale også.
