Only absolute pacifism-or absolute idiocy-would insist that opposition to one war logically requires opposition to all wars, regardless of political or moral considerations.

Merely heating such rocks to between 500°F. and 800°F., he says, will release as much as a gallon of water per cubic foot of rock...
