Irene seems to be a part-time pacifist.

Are you ready to reform? What say ye? As far as I know there are no true pacifists on this list. To be generally opposed to war as a solution to human problems that arguably could be solved by other means is not pacifism, and to believe that it isn't logically impossible that human beings should live in a state of peace is not pacifism. You're challenging a deaf horse, I think.
