that those of us who oppose this new war fit this description:

But there is a minority of intellectual pacifists whose real though unadmitted motive appears to be hatred of western democracy and admiration of totalitarianism. Pacifist propaganda usually boils down to saying that one side is as bad as the other, but if one looks closely at the writings of 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. Moreover they do not as a rule condemn violence as such, but only violence used in defence of western countries.

As an aside, I've long appreciated this pithy summation of nationalism

Nationalism is a state of mind wherein a man hates another country more than he loves his own.

Friedrich Percival Reck-Malleczewen from Diary of a Man in Despair, his account of life in Nazi Germany. He was executed at Dachau in 1945.
