Empathy for whom? I know pacifists want to believe we live in a post-war world, and if only we would not make guns or do the kind of things the NSA is doing here we'll suddenly live in a perfect world—but by what fantastical mechanism do you actually think that will happen?

The old pacifist keyword, its a bit like the communist keyword.

The only war we have at the moment is the one you (assuming you're a shill) created and want to sustain. Because if you don't, it all falls down. Its about the US dollar, and oil.

Don't get me wrong, I'd gladly strangle the greedy bastards that are doing this to the world. How's that for pacifism?
