*feels the nail, stigmata of a belief relevant to history and humanity.*
Man, people actually argue what it means to be a pacifist. To really know, you must follow an example and live to be one. Theorize and opinionize all you like, but if you havent lived it, you dont really know. Martin Luther King Jr., An american and a Christian who changed the world advocating action and non-violence. His dream was for the children, our kids will face a future generation of terrorists with even more hate for the evil western empire. We can soak up the good feeling of action all we want, but without forethought of the consequences, it will become a empty feeling soon enough.
I cannot comment much more on the strong opinion expressed in the original post, but to me thats all it was, an opinion, just strong, thats all. Mere facts can refute even a strong well-crafted opinion.
