The genius of Gandhi was that he came up with appropriate but non violent strategies to counter the british. We need similar genius to counter the current situation hopefully without the military going out and killing a million ordinary starving, already ravaged people to get at one person. Using force when you have more than the others is a no brainer. Already millions of Afghanis have started leaving their homeland to starve as refugees in neighboring countries. Gandhi's program of passive resistance was effective in helping India gain its independence from the British in 1947, but surely it's clear that terrorists are much different animals than colonists, and that different solutions may be required. I note Gandhi's methods were unable to stop partitioning, and that he died at the hand of an assassin/terrorist in 1949. Passive resistance is an approach, not a panacea. jmho, uf
