Gandhi said, "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."
They kill us, so we kill them, then they kill us for killing them, then we kill them for them killing us because we killed them for killing us . . .
Is there an end to this pattern?

Of course we can just give up and hope the Jihadists will be merciful. Personally, I'd rather kill them before they kill us.
Ghandi's non violent resistance worked with the British, because he knew the British people were basically decent, and he could appeal to their sense of compassion. Martin Luther King used the same strategy. I don't think Ghandi's strategy would have worked with a Muslim country.
