i would agree that violence is seldom the answer, but sometimes it is the only answer. the key when using violence is not to use it in anger, but with the same cool deliberation that it is used against you.
I think you will find that the British goverment has an ongoing policy when it comes to negotiating with terrorists , they DON'T ! They send the SAS after your arse or the Met shoot anything that looks the slightest bit suspicious.
I am the least peaceful person I know but I am smart enough to know when the odds are stacked against me , if I'm dead they I can forget continuing the fight for legalisation.
