Friends believe the light of God is found in everyone and many struggle with the concept of pacifism.

We're not a meeting, and we don't preach. We sit in a circle for an hour at a Friend's home and listen to a higher power through our silence. Some Friends groups have semi-programmed meetings where they read Bible verses and sing hymns, but not ours.

We've only come as tourists to visit this beautiful country and see our friends that have come over to the U.S. before. The prime minister of Vietnam told President Bush that there is freedom here. However, we have been followed and harassed since we arrived. Although Chad is a building contractor, not a preacher or a teacher, they seem to want to believe otherwise.

Sometimes you have to pick the gun up to put the Gun down.

In so far as it takes effect at all, pacifist propaganda can only be effective against those countries where a certain amount of freedom of speech is still permitted; in other words it is helpful to totalitarianism.

If it should happen you wake up and Armageddon has come, lie still.
