The missing element in most pacifist historical analyses is the acknowledgement that evil exists, and that it would prevail, excepting forceful confrontation. Pacifist dogma supposes that when confronted with the olive branch, Hitler, Stalin, Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden would have laid down their weapons and engaged in a hug-fest for peace. Evil in 1938 and now cannot be appeased. It must be confronted by forces greater than itself….and destroyed…..with only fools such as Jimmy Carter and B. Hussein Obama to believe otherwise.
