Now you've gone too far the other way....Gandhi was certainly not
a coward nor was he a slacker.

People like Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. were not fighting PURE
EVIL.

This strikes at the heart of the issue.

Evil is not absolute.

For example:
Are terrorists evil?

If you answered "Yes", then perhaps you should wind the clock back about 40
years. Nelson Mandela was considered to be a terrorist. Very few people
complained when he was first locked up. Now, he is seen as a bringer of
peace.

As recently as 2 months ago, most Republicans believed that Saddam was
connected to Al Qaeda. That was your main justification for going to war.
Republicans also believed that Saddam had WMD that threatened us.

The 9/11 Commission has now told us that both these "facts" were lies.

War is evil. .... To start a war is evil. .... To start a war which will
bring financial benifit to your family and friends is very evil.

Bush told you that Saddam had links to Al Qaeda. Bush told you that Saddam
had WMD. Bush's friends made big bucks out of the war.

IMHO, you are incapable of recognising true evil when it stares you in the
face!

They were fighting pig-headed stupid people who's hearts could
be, and were, changed by forcing them to confront their consciences.

They knew it would work because they knew their opponents had good
hearts in most cases, most. That's the place where non-violence (or
pacifism) works. The tactic is not applicable to Osama, or Saddam,
or Hitler and all their thugs. In those cases, pacifism is just
called suicide.
