Pacifism

FYI Doug,

I participated in anti-Gulf War protests in Boston.  For that cause I did 
not believe OUR (children's) blood should be spilled.  For some causes we 
must be willing to sacrifice our own (children's) lives.  For some things 
OUR collective purpose must outweigh the very possible loss of some of our 
lives.  This was well demonstrated by those heroes that took back the plane 
over Pennsylvania.  If the other planes had been aware of the cost of 
cooperation I'm sure they would have also given their own lives to avoid the 
bigger tragedy that ensued.  I'm glad those people were up to the task 
before them.
