ON THE CUTTING EDGE: Pacifism Is Not Healthy For Children And Other Living Things

People are calling for a cease-fire in the interests of peace. But there have been more cease-fires in the
There was a time when it would have been suicidal to threaten, much less attack, a nation with much stronger military power because one of the dangers to the attacker would be the prospect of being annihilated.
"World opinion," the U.N. and "peace movements" have eliminated that deterrent. An aggressor today knows that if his aggression fails, he will still be protected from the full retaliatory power and fury of those he attacked because there will be hand-wringers demanding a cease fire, negotiations and concessions. …

For the first two years of that war, the Western democracies lost virtually every battle, all over the world, because pre-war "peace" movements had left them with inadequate military equipment and much of it obsolete. The Nazis and the Japanese knew that. That is why they launched the war.

Just as freedom isn’t free, peace also comes at a price. Like all bullies, terrorists keep attacking as long as they believe they can get away with it. The only way to keep a bully from hitting you day after day is to open up a Costco-sized can of whupass on him. Which is what Israel is doing to Hezbollah in Lebanon – and with a remorseless ferocity that ought to give the ACLU, Amnesty International, the Angry Left and others trying their damdest to hobble the Bush Administration in the War on Terror a point of reference when lobbing accusations that our military purposely bombs residential areas, routinely brutalizes hapless civilians and tortures terrorist prisoners as a matter of government policy.
