people, some will be bad.

There will always be hitlers, lenins, castros, pol pots, maos, and stalins.

There will always be jack the rippers, bundys, sons of sam and school shooters.

And given that fact, imo, we cannot unilaterally decide that we are pacifists or that surrender is better than war or that we will not retaliate. Or that we will not fight to protect the innocent.

The hitlers, stalins et.al. love it when they encounter the enlightened and peaceful civilized countries who think peace is the absence of war. And must be gotten even at the cost of tyranny.
