One is either a pacifist or a non-pacifist.  Those who oppose some 
wars but not others are not selective pacifists but *non-pacifists, 
plain and simple*.  I suppose that the insistence of the media & some 
LBO-talkers on painting *all* oppositions to the enduring war on 
freedom to be varieties of pacifism may be a way of saying that they 
don't want to even imagine that oppositions to the war may, God 
forbid, develop into an anti-imperialist movement, not an anti-war 
movement.

against the Empire,
