[/caption]Cue Twilight Zone theme:
Imagine if you will, a small room.
In this small room you place 9 pacifists, who have sworn to never use violence to solve any problems.
Into this room, you place 1 murderer, one who has absolutely no qualms about killing anyone, anytime, anywhere, with anything. A pathological killer, who emotionally feasts on the suffering and pain of others.
Who will come out alive?
This is the state of the world, and terrorism today. We are the pacifists and the terrorists are the murderers.
If the pacifists refuse to use violence to subdue the murderer, then only one will come out alive: the murderer. If the pacifists decide that their self-preservation is more important, and use violence to subdue or kill the murderer, then the 9 pacifists will come out alive.
Even though we abhor violence, in some cases you must fight, and fight at the same level, or even below that level, in order to subdue the violent. There is really no choice in the matter: it is the way of the world: kill or be killed.
Some believe that the human race has evolved beyond that kind of mentality. I don’t think we’ve really changed all that much. We are still a bunch of warring tribes.
But some of us at least attempt to settle our differences without violence, violence is the last resort, as opposed to the first.
