Yet we live in a world saturated with violence. Turn on the TV any night and you'll be watching wars, reports of bashings, and action movies where the body count goes into hundreds.
Politicians say they're against violence.
But their answer to violence is commonly more violence. Over Kosovo, the western powers responded to Milosevic's violence against ethnic Albanians with a massive bombing campaign, beginning with military targets and moving on to bridges, power stations and TV studios, punishing the whole Serbian population. That might is right. That the countries with the most weaponry will win. Force will prevail.
