As a Christian should, the Militant Pacifist struggles with "nationalistic pride." Remember "pride" that most deadly of the seven deadly sins.
The struggle is exacerbated when he reads an article like the one linked in the posting title above (California Wines beat the French -- Again!). It makes it difficult (as an American) not to be "smug." Ciao!

“Cowardice asks the question: is it safe? Expediency asks the question: is it politic? Vanity asks the question: is it popular? But conscience asks the question: is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular- but one must take it simply because it is right.”

"Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in a great campaign of sabotage."

"There are only two means by which men can deal with one another: guns or logic. Force or persuasion. Those who know that they cannot win by means of logic, have always resorted to guns."
