Storm Track Disinformation: Peace is NOT the Absence of War

Those in the peace movement suffer under a major misunderstanding about peace.

In an article in Dissident Voices, the writer states:

Men keep going to war. They go for many reasons. The only defensible reason, however, is self-defense – of one’s family, one’s community, one’s country.
Typical of a liberal mind. If it were true that the only reason to go to war was for self-defense then we would never had helped Germany and Japan - and by the way, just about any enemy we ever fought - reestablish its nation after we defeated it. The logic of the article would follow that we smash and eradicate the nation so it can never threaten us again.
