I sincerely respect true pacifism, even if I disagree with it. =====================Right! I may be an oafish brute but I would never stoop so low as to try to talk a Pacifist out of being one.

I never said anything about assuming it would lead to one. I said you should acknowledge the possiblity that it could lead to one. Are these convictions of pacifism so shallow that you, (generic), can roll the dice with them?
I sincerely respect true pacifism, even if I disagree with it. What I don't respect is convenient pacifism.
