I would like to be a pacifist but .....

"How many times must the cannonballs fly before they are forever banned?"
These are words known by all in a popular Dylan song. But let us stop to engage our brains about this for a moment.

How do you 'ban' weapons?
The bad guys won't agree and so what do we use to make them toe the line and not give us a mighty kicking into the bargain?
You can accuse me of being a tad literal but the point is valid. Pacifist thinking is utterly illogical!
Nobody can be 'anti-war' as you simply play into the hands of evil.

All the anti-war slogans are equally puerile.
Sad - but sometimes we just have to take a reality check and try to ensure that governments do not drag us into wars without sufficient reason!


Malaysia.
