While we're at it

Another quote from the comments at Harry's place:

No one is pro any and every war. Most people are in favour of some wars. Some people were in favour of a war to remove Saddam. Others are in favour of the current war to overthrow the democratically elected Iraqi government. I understand the latter claim to be anti-war. They are no more anti-war than the former.

Well, yeah.

Do "anti-war" people even pretend to be pacifists any more? Like the CND, who without perceptible irony are among the foremost advocates of nuclear armament in the world today.

I think there were, actually, some pacifists circa WWII who didn't consciously want Hitler to win. But times have changed.
