Peace as a Weapon against the Enemy

There was a peace demonstration today.

The peculiar thing with peace demonstrations is that they almost always favour one side. Country A attacks country B. Somewhere in the world a peace demonstration appears that wants A to retreat. Country B retaliates and invades country A. A new peace demonstration appears which wants B to retreat. Both those demonstrations are very worthy.

However, it is less worthy when the people in the two demonstrations are different people.
