Oh, absolutely; but not everyone sees it that way, unfortunately, so I tend to feel it's as well to be completely unambiguous.

I am less outright pacifist than I used to be, largely because I can't honestly see how anything short of war would have stopped Hitler. (You can reason with people who are reasonable, but I'm sure Hitler was insane.) Nonetheless I continue to regard war as the very last resort, to be tried only when every other possible option has demonstrably failed. In an ideal world that wouldn't count as pacifism. In this world, I'm afraid it probably does.
