Pacifists can't stop war
The link read, "Radio Host says pacifists couldn't stop Auschwitz." I knew it had to be Dennis Prager. At a gathering for Jewish Republicans at the convention, he spoke about what seems to me to be utterly uncontroversial: if the pacifists urging the US to stay our of WWII had been heeded, Auschwitz would not have been liberated. How is this a provactive statement?

Here's what one unnamed critic, quoted in the article, had to say:

“The Holocaust is a unique episode in world history and is an issue that should not be used for contrast and comparison with other political or nonpolitical events,” he said. “I think it lessens the memory of those who were murdered in the Holocaust.”

If that's true, then we'd better stop invoking the Holocaust when advocating for end to genocide in, say, Darfur. - served up by Ralphie @ 2:47 PM
