If we want world peace we need to replace this ancient culture of power and greed with love and compassion. Focus less on defense and destruction, focus more on enhancing life and personal growth. If we respond to evil powers with hatred and violence, it only diminishes our own humanity and fans the flames of evil. It's such a viscous cycle but the only way to change it is by starting inside yourself. There can't be any large scale revolution without that. We can't force this change of culture using violence or oppression, it doesn't work, as we have seen over and over again and as is discussed here: http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/…/paris-you-don-t-want-to-…/ I don't know what the answer is either, I just know that violence only breeds violence, we must lead the way with compassion and tactic. "No martyr's cause has ever been stilled by his assassin's bullet."
