On Peace Activists

I could say that a peace activist is the political equivalent of the depraved bystander who tells a women who is being raped that she should "lay back and enjoy it", but that would be an undeserved compliment.  I could say that killing a peace activist is no more an act of murder than putting down a rabid animal, but that would be an insult to rabid animals.  I will say that killing a peace activist is an act of defense, of one's self, of one's family, of one's nation, and of Humanity in General.
