I'm all for peace too because of what war does to people and life but we're not there yet and it's always struck me, so very obviously, how "blind" these "peace activists" can be ... example:

They don't see that they are contradicting and defeating their own goals and desires to create peace by their methods of creating anger and violence, and even wars, to get their point across and try and "force" peace to happen.

I once read in some book somewhere ... something along the lines of... "People who hate war will not bring world peace. People who love peace will bring world peace" ... and I add to that ... YEAH... BUT ... only if all people in the whole world, every individual, believed and felt the same way.

We ain't there yet, and it may well be centuries, or milleniums, before this could ever happen ...

meanwhile ... back in the "IS" of life ... its really sad that peoples organized ceremonies to grieve and honour their loved fallen soldiers and losses .... . is futilely, and disrespectfully, disturbed and ruined by "MILITANT WARLIKE ACTIVISTS"

Damn ... I wish these ceremonies had a circle of national gaurd or something ... solid impenetrable line circled around the ceremonies and gatherers... circled way far backwhere the shouts and BS can't be heard or seen ... and the ceremony can be what it is meant to be for everyone there.

Sorry for the long post ... I just had lots of thots to reply.
