I feel perhaps I didn't deal with the question of violence in depth.

I believe military force can be used to redress or change the balance of power in the world, but I think that that's always a losing operation if you're not trying to do it in a way which corresponds to the basic desires of the people on whom you are acting.

You just cannot cut a country in two any more than you can cut a human being in two. If you do, you do not have two human beings; you have a corpse.

Sometimes you must live in a violent world in order to get greater justice.

In reality, though, the first thing to ask of history is that it should point out to us the paths of liberty. The great lesson to draw from revolutions is not that they devour humanity but rather that tyranny never fails to generate them.

I think violence is counter-productive and it is bad in democratic societies.

Who is it that said that 'you have not converted a man because you have silenced him?' This is true of the use of the military on people.
