Walter Russell Mead on the Peace Camp’s Bloody Hands
The people I have in mind are the ‘goo-goo genocidaires,’ the willfully blind reformers, civil society activists, clergy, students and others whose foolishness and ignorance was a necessary condition for tens of millions of deaths in the last hundred years. Unreflective, self-righteous ‘activists’ thought that to espouse peace was the same thing as to create or safeguard it. As a result, tens of millions died.

I can think of quite a few people who that applies to. Since my hands are bloody for my support of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, I figure it’s only fair that peaceniks be held partly responsible for those killed by the dictators they protect.

Spent a bit of the afternoon reading about Operation Keelhaul. Made me think that everything we fought for in WWII was a complete waste of time and manpower, if that’s what the allied governments did once the war was over.

blessed are the peacemakers who help to arrange peace by resoving the issues between combatants
cursed are the peacekeepers who maintain peace at the cost of lives of innocents who are killed, raped and tortured at the hands of these murderous psychopaths.
