Wow! The new slur against the anti-war faction on DU is "peace purists"

318. I oppose all wars.

I don't act on someone else's civil war by picking a side and joining in. That's war.

If any physical action is required to protect, to evacuate, a nation, it needs to be decided by the UN, and any involvement on any nation's part needs to be directed by them.

I act on my opposition by supporting groups and individuals promoting peace with my voice, my dollars, my votes, and, when possible, my presence. I act on my opposition by opposing warmongers with my voice, my dollars, my votes, and when possible, my presence.

As far as I'm concerned, the only people supporting war should be those who plan to wage it themselves. With their presence at those weapons, on those lines of battle. Supporting wars from a safe distance, supporting putting others at risk, while remaining safely at home, is cowardly and hypocritical, to say the least.
