The next time we have to defend ourselves against whoever, what means do people suggest we use, attack them with prose,anti war poems or demonstrate the life out of them.

George Harrison shouted Hari Krishna at the person who attacked him,it did not stop the attack nor awakened the love of God in his attactors heart and mind. Harrison had to fight back to protect his life and that of his family,was he wrong did he break some anti war or pacifist code? Was he a fool to fight?

When Hitler decided to go on his rampage,would there have been an alternative way to stop him? I see no politician who would have instigated the war just to forward his/her career, to suggest so is crass and arrogance. Arrogance in the fact that we have hind sight to sit,in times of relative peace, and point fingers at those who HAD to take decisions in the time of war. Crass that people think someone would really want that responsibility without using others means to avoid war.

Japan as we all know initiated war with America, would a couple of protester's sailing between the Japanese navy al a green peace mode, have stopped them attacking the American fleet at Midway? Can anyone come up with an alternative strategy to the one that was took.

How would Australia or Hawaian Islands have handled the invasion by Japan if they had mounted a successful one. Considering the barbaric treatment meted out to those over run by the Japanese army I'm sure these people would not have wasted time on protesters. And Hare krishna chanting would not have awakened the love of God in their hearts and minds.


"and soldiers, mostly fools", I'll agree with this, yes they were mostly fools for giving their all, for what,some ingrate to quote such tripe and believe it.

Who stands up to the aggressor? Who is willing to hare Krishna the attacker while they take lives? George Harrison tried it and it nearly got him killed, until he turned the aggressor himself.

I mean no offence to the followers of krishna and apologise if I have caused any.
