Pacifism is immoral?

Self claimed Buddhist Oon Yeoh is at it again. This time repeating his claim that "pacifism is immoral". A wise reader "Visitor" of his site pointed out that based on Oon Yeoh's claim that Pacifism "is nothing less than the willingness to allow other people to get killed", then Oon Yeoh should be considered as a pacifist as well. Visitor also asked this very important question: "Is trying to get rid of one man worth the deaths, sufferings and chaos in Iraq now?"

Oon Yeoh responded:

If you are asserting that Afghanistan and Iraq were better off before the Taliban and Saddam regime were forcibly removed, or that the people of those countries would prefer Mullah Omar or Saddam Hussein back in power, you are not just cherry picking but totally ignorant of history and reality.

Oon Yeoh accused "Visitor" of "not just cherry picking but totally ignorant of history and reality." Who is the one that is cherry picking and totally oblivious to what is happening in Iraq? According to Dr Abdallah, interviewed in the article published by the Christian Science Monitor,

"We were so happy, so optimistic about what the Americans had done, but Saddam Hussein is very humane compared to what is happening now," the doctor says. "I'm sorry to say that - I hate him - but the Saddam time was much better. I blame the Americans; they made so many mistakes. They are the big players."

It is high time for Oon Yeoh, like some former neo-conservatives, to publicly admit that he was wrong about supporting the war on Iraq, and that he is partially responsible for the mess that we have in Iraq now. Come on, be a real Buddhist and admit and repent for your mistakes!
