Non Violence; The Strongest Weapon

Violence and terrorism are counterproductive, and achieve nothing more than death and destruction to all sides, along with greater repression and loss of freedom. Nonviolence as a strategy might involve great sacrifice, but it is the strongest weapon a downtrodden people can implement. Those that thrive on war,hate, blood and pain will resist this strategy. Nonviolence does not work if accompanied by a strategy of violence. A nonviolent movement cannot allow for violence and terrorism. A true nonviolent moment, if implemented, will win the hearts and minds of most of the world, including many of their enemies. It is unfortunate that the strongest weapon people can use is the one least chosen.
