Lennon's brand of passifist appeasement brought about WWII, 9-11 and countless other wars. Evil will always seek to prey on the weak and the unprepared, its human nature. But war can be avoided through strength. If Chamberlain had stood up to Hitler, I suspect WWII might never have occured, at least not on the scale is did. If we would have taken out UBL when we had the chance 9-11 may not have occured. Do not mistake passivism for peace.
I also wish everyone in the world had enough to eat, a warm place to sleep and a good education. It all about how you go about it and Lennon's (and others) ideas were all about taking my land, my freedom and my money so everyone could have some. I really prefer capitolism. Even the poorest, most ignorent among us can make it with enough hard work and perseverance. Earning what you have brings personal freedom, having the government distribute wealth brings servitude.
