I have heard it many times that violence never solves anything. I have heard that violence begets more violence.
My response to that argument has been that the violence we did to Germany and Japan during World War II DID solve something. It stopped the war and we won. I have maintained that if you do sufficient violence, your opponent will call for mercy.
Now I have another example that makes my point. The violence the terrorists in Iraq are doing is causing some Americans to loose their support of the war. It appears that some Americans can be intimidated by violence. This again refutes the argument that violence doesn’t solve anything.
