A brief Essay on war and Pacifism. _________________________ I find it somewhat Ironic that the Individual Freedom many exercise to Protest War, (in the Name of Peace) was made possible (in part) by Warriors who KILLED Tyrants Opposed To Social Liberty. In George Orwells novel 1984 he said that : Good People sleep peaceably in their beds at night, only because Rough Men stand ready to do Violence on their behalf. The Sad Reality is that the World is full of greedy, power hungry manipulators intent on suppressing the liberties of others simply for the sake of their own gain, or because they disagree with the religious rites a given society chooses to practice,..and such tyranny CANNOT be reasoned with using mere Words Alone. I would love to see a World where others got along, and were able to embrace the diversities of individuals who see reality differently, but unfortunately Violence has proven (on repeated occasions) to be the most effective means by which to deter Social Tyranny. Those who Fight for Peace are (rather ironically) Warriors of Virtue, comparable to Shepherds watching over their Sheep, to ensure that Wolves of Prey do not feast upon them. Ask yourself honestly,..Would the Atrocities committed by Tyrants throughout History have been deterred simply by standing in the streets withthou shalt not killsigns?..sadly its unlikely. When Hitler was killing off Jews, and those considered socially inept by the millions, it was Necessary to call upon Warriors to destroy the morally bankrupt soldiers who chose to follow him, in order to defend the rights and well being of an Oppressed Mass. ( which in my view makes those considered Killers by a wide variety of Pacifist types, True Liberators of The People.) I could readily state countless examples of Necessary Violence, but to do so would be superfluous, so I will only conclude in saying that, At the end Of The Day we are a Warring Species, and the rightness or wrongness of Any Violent Action is determined by whether we are fighting to Preserve, Protect, and Defend the Innocent, or oppress and control the World. Thomas Jefferson was correct in his assessment when he said.. The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of Patriots, and Tyrants. So, the next time you feel yourself getting caught up in the glamour of A Peace and Love Philosophy of Pacifism,.. remember that there are Rough Men Ready to Do Violence on Your Behalf. (Someone has to.) thank you... J.Stephen.H.\
