Peace Activists Just Naysayers
Re “Peace Activists Plan to Do More Than March,” Ventura County edition of The Times, Jan. 14, 1991:
Why is it that the minute there is a statement by our government on broad national policy or national goals, there is inevitably that group of self-styled experts who immediately proclaim their opposition to the announced goals and/or the proposed course of action?
This perennial mix of educators, social scientists, career negative activists and devout naysayers--each in their own peculiar egomaniacal state--cry out that they are wiser and capable of better solutions than the professionals. And they include, of course, that significant fraction that is just too terrified of having to serve with the honorable, loyal military.
