Don't get me wrong, I am not even close to being pro-violent, but we are just about down to the last resort, and there is a growing movement that is coming to that conclusion. Late 20th century tactic have been well scouted by the enemy to the point of quelling the seriousness of the matters at hand. Many fights we had in the past 60 years that were polarized are now forgotten.
