GUEST,Nonviolent Resistance Binladdin Must Die (102* d) RE: Binladdin Must Die 14 Sep 01


A lot of people have said that the U.S. should pursue nonviolent means to deal with terrorism. However, has anyone ever considered that the goals of most terrorist organizations would be better served thru nonviolent resistance or political efforts. It worked in India and for African-Americans in the U.S. Even Irish independence was more of an outcome of political efforts than armed conflict. If the Palestinians (or some of them) had pursued such channels from the beginning instead of machine gunning children, they would have achieved many of their goals decades ago. I realize that nonviolence requires a painful amount of patience, but it is much less painful than whipping the most powerful nation on earth into a homocidal frenzy.
