I concur
As for them using violence. Its arguable that war has evolved to include civilizians as the enemy. After all, they DO support the military and the military acts out what they supprt. Take out the support, lose the military morale. WW2 saw civilians being targeted.
Remember, this is a violent world (unfortunately) and although I dont agree, violence tends to be the way we solve problems (in my world we have discussion which I'm sure you'll agree on ). Its the way America was formed (they even have violence in the national anthem).
