>Since you're just dying to know how far my pacifism stretches, I'll tell you.
Yes, but again you evade the question. I am not trying to act the
inquisitor, but I do think it's helpful for me, at least, to frame
your beliefs. I can't think of many people who would willingly be
raped or killed than forgo the use of violence against an assailant.
But my question was political:
"Do you feel that the United States ever been "right" in waging war,
keeping in mind that even WWII had civilian casualties? I ask,
because I wish to know the extent and limits of your pacifism."
Thanks,
