I would argue that most who are against the war in Iraq are not pacifists. They have other reasons to not support the war which have been well trodden.
If Stein didn't have a platform like the LA Times he would be called a troll. Like most trolls he would be banned from the TFP.
Don't feed the trolls.

Stating any opinion on TFP gets you called a troll by the other side, trust me on that one
Its very amusing how you need to post an article along with your opinion in order to be allowed to have one in some peoples minds.
His use of such terms were to soften the blow of the article, to unfocus the anger that many would feel if he just said he doesn't support the troops straight out. It was amazingly masterful really, he didn't make me mad, I almost pitied him, the feeling is the of the kid who gets his lunch money taken from him by the bullies. I was most impressed.
