Subject: How to treat "Peace Activists"

 With the war in progress, many of us will encounter
   "Peace Activists" who will try to convince us that we must refrain from
   retaliating against the ones who terrorized us all on September 11,
   2001. These activists may be alone or in a gathering. Most of us do not
   know how to react to them. When you come upon one of these people, or
   one of their rallies, here are the proper rules of etiquette:

   1. Listen politely while this person explains their views. Strike up a
   conversation if necessary and look very interested in their ideas. They
   will tell you how revenge is immoral, and that by attacking the people
   who did this to us; we will only bring on more violence. They will
   probably use many arguments, ranging from political to religious to
   humanitarian.

   2. In the middle of their remarks, without any warning, punch them in
   the nose.

   3. When the person gets up off the ground, they will be very angry and
   they may try to hit you so be careful.

   4. Very quickly and calmly remind the person that violence only brings
   about more violence and remind them of their stand on this matter. Tell
   them if they are committed to a nonviolent approach to undeserved
   attacks, they will turn the other cheek and negotiate a solution. Tell
   them they must lead by example if they really believe what they are
   saying.

   5. Most of them will think for a moment and then agree that you are
   correct.

   6. As soon as they do that, hit them again. Only this time hit them
   much harder. Square in the nose.

   7. Repeat steps 2-5 until the desired results are obtained and the
   idiot realizes how stupid of an argument he/she is making. There is no
   difference in an individual attacking an unsuspecting victim or a group
   of terrorists attacking a nation of people. It is unacceptable and must
   be dealt with, perhaps at a high cost. We owe our military a huge debt
   for what they are about to do for our children and us. We must support
   them and our leaders at times like these. We have no choice. We either
   strike back, VERY HARD, or we will keep being hit in the nose.
