Yeah, but you know what guys -- who cares about pacifism? Pacifism is beside
the point...

The point is whether we should retaliate violently absent proof of the
correctness of what we are doing.  The point is whether we should be rushing

what the terrorists want -- that is what I will not do.  Get a grip, people!!!
