non violence is the only way to break this cycle

If you think for one second that throwing stones at the police is breaking the cycle of violence that we see carried out by our governments day in day out then you are sadly mistaken. If you think radical politics involves violence, then you have fallen into the traps set by those in power. You are perpetuating this cycle of violence, however good your intentions may be.

I am proud of the people in this film who are clearly using non violent means to work towards peace, and it saddens me that you would mock their "'peace' protesting". Do you think that warfare will bring us peace? This is what Bush and Blair thought. This is what Reagan and Thatcher thought. Do you really want to follow in their footsteps?

Bravo to those who work for peace, I salute your courage.

We SHALL overcome.
