"nonviolent means"

.. is why I am criticising the poor man. It may be an acceptable alternative for him, but for us?. . . Its just an irresponsible and downright evil method to employ when you are in charge of a countyr and other peoples lives. Its simply that some one has come over here and pushed us really hard, and if we don't beat them down thoroughly then we are gonna keep getting tripped, pushed, whacked upside the head etc. . . if we are talking about a single person to person situation it woudl be perfectly fine or acceptable for some one to stand around and take it and shout out 'hey cut out, stop it!, ow! thats not nice!", it is completely in their right to suffer through the punishment and be nonvilent about it. But realize when we scale this up to a national level, each hit on us equates to a world trade center falling, a mass antrax mailing, a plane hijacked etc. . . and a leader no longer has the moral right to stand by and take it, since it is not jsut him that receives the punishment.
