Why moderates should march: the rebuttal

My friend John Evans sent me a thoughtful and informed rebuttal to my argument "Why moderates should march". I'm including it (with my own counter-comments!) because a thoughtful debate is exactly what I wanted to encourage.

To summarize my counterargument (for those who have better things to do than read my pontifications): You may believe war is a necessary evil, but I hope you believe it's an evil! So march anyway! Bring a sign that says "True democracy would have prevented this necessary evil" or something.
