The Anti-War Crowd
Causes War
SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 2010
In an article entitled, The
Morality of War and the Anti-
War Movement , Sultan Knish
writes:
"By denying that the means of
preventing greater violence
sometimes requires lesser
violence...they bring about that
greater violence.
"The Anti-War movements
remain fundamentally complicit
in causing many of the very wars
they complain about. Their non-
violence causes and creates
violence by preventing the use of
force that would nullify that
violence at a much lesser cost.
By failing to make those
distinctions, their ignorance reaps
a blood price from their host
societies and from other
vulnerable countries as well.
"Worse yet it cynically ties the
hands of those who might stop
the violence, while giving a green
light to those who actually
perpetuate the violence. The left
puts forward arguments that
delegitimize acts without context
in simplistic slogans to avoid
serious discussion of the
necessity of those acts."
