Non violence
I realize that most of us do not like violence but are ready to use it for self protection.
But the boundary of what represents "protection" is fuzzy.
It also leads to violence vicious circles :
Country A (or part of it) attacks country B to protect itself (its interests...)
Country B (or part of it) fights with country A to protect itself.
Sometimes A or B is defeated and in good cases the war stops.
In other cases the violence can last for a long time.
In any case there is a way to avoid war: refuse to participate (directly or indirectly).
It is not as easy as it might appears, for instance even if A is a democratic country any
citizen that pay tax supports indirectly the war.
In case of agression, since we have only few historical experiences, the power of non-violent resistance might be diffult to evaluate.
I believe anyway that non-violence is the best group strategy in any situation.
Since violence is forbiden in all cases, this interdiction should be written in the constitution of our organisation.
