[net.politics] What is the 'Peace Movement'?

stuart (01/22/83)

Recently, I saw a reference to "The Peace Movement".
Can anyone explain what this is?  Is it a group whose members
agree that peace is good?  Is it opposed to "The War Movement"?
If one favors being strong enough to resist successfully acts of 
war initiated by another nation, which group would one join?
If, instead, one relies upon trust and faith and hope, which group
would one join?

Are there different "peace movements" for those who disagree on
how best to achieve it?  Or is there only one "Peace Movement"
with only one sanctioned method for achieving or maintaining peace?
