Thanks for the answer, and all the others, once again I see the difficulty with words.

violence can become the catalyst for great healing. until humanity uses mind from a place of integrity to heal in the ways of the Creator.......... the ways of the ego will continue........... however the Holy Spirit can use ALL for the awakening of human consciousness and does.

Amena....... in the annals of history of the last 200 yrs alone, there are graphic examples in books, theatre, personal accounts and via the internet of the great good that violence in the name of peace can bring. Are we so silly that we actually have to go through it again in Iraq, then in Korea, then maybe China, Indonesia, Iran again maybe, Israel, Palestine, Kenya, India, Pakistan, and the list goes on and on and on endlessly.

When one has been hit on the head enough times, does one stay there to see if what he thought was correct the time before actually was correct. I find it odd, that there is such gentleness in your words, and then you go BUT in this case lets use missiles and war once more...we can then work on the real issue....... why not work on the real issue right now.

The consciousness that we are using to solve the problem is the same consciousness that was and is used to create the problem.
