 . . . Pacifist Claptrap (washingtonpost.com)
Pacifists are not serious people, although they devoutly believe they are, and their arguments are not being taken seriously at the moment.
Pacifists see themselves as obviously on the side of a higher morality, and there is a surface appeal to this notion, even for those who dismiss pacifism as hopelessly naive.

 The DOOM Pacifist Collection   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)

In response to Michael Kelly's column of September 26, "Â…Pacifist Claptrap," I write as a Quaker pacifist who is profoundly offended by his scapegoating, his shallow analysis, and his presumptuous moralizing.
