I quote *again* from your reply to Horst:
"Thank *all that is worth living for* that the heroes on board that flight
*weren't* pacifists."
This *is not* the same as "what was done on flight 93 was *not* an act of
pacifism".
One is talking about people, the other is about the act. Maybe the attack was
violent, maybe it wasn't. Does it matter? These people made a decision in a
moment of stress, and that doesn't give us any information about whether or not
they were pacifists. The initial quote implied it was a fact, and it isn't.
