Liberals and Pacifists

People who claim that "violence never solves anything" or that "war must be avoided at all costs" clearly are not thinking, either by choice or by defect. If war must be avoided at all costs, then for example we should have accepted the "cost" of the Holocaust and the conquest of Europe by Hitler. That is absurd, as are the folks who parrot this foolish notion. War sometimes is necessary, and therefore violence sometimes does solve problems. The fact that some people are too cowardly to make the tough decision to go to war when necessary does not make their pacifism a model to follow; rather it makes them unfit for public leadership, especially leadership of the United States.
