PACIFISM

With their freudian religious undertones slipping out while trying to sound secular the pacifists wish for the nations crucifixion. You see the nation has been a sinner of late, actually for most of its existence. The numerous taints on the nations soul include stealing Indian land, slavery, industrialization, segregation, nuclear weapons, Vietnam, cold-war realpolitik, Iraq 1, post cold-war idealism, Iraq 2, global warming, ect, ect.... and all the other problems of the world. Now we need to be put back in our place - to be humbled. We need our hubris checked - our resolve weakened. We need our superior beliefs made inferior. Only when the nation has been crucified - only when barabbas or his modern dictator equivalent is released - only then can we begin the dialog amongst ourselves and other nations - only then can the human planet all join hands in a giant friendship circle - only then can pacifist candle light vigils commence in all time zones across the newborn earth. Our nation state must die to purify our progressive soul.
