Gandhi Knew Not to Fight Violence with Violence

check out :
mahatma.org.in

"...
Better far than cowardice is killing and being killed in battle.
...
A principle is a principle. and in no case can it be watered down because of our incapacity to live it in practice. We have to strive to achieve it, and the striving should be conscious, deliberate and hard.
...
All compromise is based on give and take, but there can be no give and take on fundamentals. Any compromise on mere fundamentals is a surrender. For it is all give and no take.
..."

cheers, kumar

>Gandhi Knew Not to Fight Violence with Violence<

Few have walked the earth as have the Mahatma. Yet you might concede that he was opposing a colonial nation which did have something of a sense of morality, justice and a considdrable population which supported India's independence on grounds of conscience.

Britain left behind the framework of a democratic society, a first-rate Indian Civil Service, the world's largest rail system--and, not to belittle it--the English language, the only means of communication throughout the land.

I don't think a Salt March to Afganistan or Iraq or wherever the footprints lead would deter that crowd.

The duties of a political leader such as Bush are different from the duties of a religious or moral leader such as Gandhi.

Unfortunately, I don't think the situation is the same. Had Gandhi used his tactics against someone like Hitler (or apparently bin Laden), he simply would have been gassed with the millions of others.
