The Reality of Peace

"The pacifists...merely assert that it only men loved one another, all the more complex and sometimes horrible realities of the political order could be dispensed with. They do not see that their 'if' begs the most basic problem of human history. It is because men are sinners that justice can be achieved only by a certain degree of coercion on the one hand, and by resistance to coercion and tyranny on the other hand."
Reinhold Niebuhr

Life is always a balance.
