Arlene, again I agree with you 100%. Nonviolence in some cases will lead to your people being slaughtered and wiped out from the Earth.
I do hate violence. Personally, I feel bad even killing a fly! But another thing is self-defense.
The only solution I see along with wars on terrorism is a peaceful revolution from within these countries that generate suicide bombers. This however must be done from within the countries, and we can do little to help, except help restore democracy, wich is exactly what the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have done. Now it's time the Afghanis and Iraqis start caring for themselves, like Europe did after it was liberated by the allies.

Peaceful revolution?? Restore democracy?? You don't wanna know how many innocent people died by American bombs... And all those suicide bombing wouldn't have happened if America wasn't there.
The Iraqis and Afghanis can't care for themselves, because they never have done that before. And the biggest problem is that they don't have the chance to care for themselves. America wants to hold the power in his own hands, because of the economic advantages.
Do ya really think that Bush invaded Iraq to find the mass descruction weapons?? Or because they generate suicide bombers?? Sadam was/is one of the most evil persons on the world. But no hair on his head thought about attacking America. Simply because it should have been his end.
America is the country who creates the most suicide bombers... Just because of their arrogance.
