I remember (somewhat) a line from the movie "Gandhi" which Ben Kingsley starred in the title role.

Journalist: "I believe in an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth."

Kingsley as Gandhi: "Very good. And what will you do when the whole world is toothless and blind?"

The song I Ain't a-Marchin' Anymore by the one and only Phil Ochs comes to mind. Thanks Kat. Good thoughts. I was hoping I'd find some support and sympathy for the peace position. I knew I could count on the Catters.
