endorse the idea of a holy war or just war or something similar. There are very few pacifists, the vast majority of people don't even know what a pacifist is, and now it's even become common for people out of intimidation to emphatically state that they are NOT anti-war. Believe it or not, the chimp administration has caused people to view being against war as a bad thing! Remember the old days when politicians campaigned on promises to bring peace and prosperity. Now the winner will be the one who promises to spend as much as it takes to kill as many Arabs as possible. What kind of Frankenstein monster have we created?
