****One more personal thought . . . I have a friend who is the best person to have around when trouble is brewing . . . he as the innate ability to sense when violence is imminent . . . he is more than willing to talk his way out of a confrontation, but can sense when its not possible (he told me once he senses a shift in someones body language) and he attacks first and with ferocity, if there is more than one, he goes for the biggest, meanest dude and invariably the fight is over just as it starts. I know its wishful thinking, but that is sort of the policy I would endorse. I know I didn't explain this very well, but hopefully you get my point without too much distortion.******
I totally agree. But the problem we face is the majority of our new enemies are not the biggest, or the meanest. Quite the contrary; they're cowards who organize attacks on unarmed civilians and then hide behind the human shields of their own people.
I'm all for diplomacy and dialogue. But in order to communicate and resolve any issues both sides must be present at the table. I'm afraid that will never happen. What is there to discuss with a (practically) faceless group who's only purpose in life is to kill you, and as many others like you they can?
