BTW:
If you'd read the article you'd know that the Economist never "suggested" 
that "Ghandi, the Rev'd Martin Luther King Jr., Cesar Chavez, and the many 
brave supporters of pacifist movements" were cowards, but then again honesty 
in debating a subject is not your strong suit.

And is your tarring the Economist as "a corporate media tool that's 
inextricably part of the corporate apparatus that feeds and profits from 
War" an acceptable strategy for a pacifist?  I doubt Gandhi would have 
approved.
