: A lot of peace activism comes from fear. Some think if we hunker down and take it, the "bully" will get bored and walk away. These people, however, aren't angry at us for hitting them. They despise our material riches and freedoms.

: Others peace activism is rooted in something nobler. Jesus tells us to turn the other cheek. In some cases, stopping the cycle of violence by withholding retaliation can be helpful.

: In this case, however, I prefer to think that we are not seeking revenge, but rather stopping those elements that will try to try to commit such crimes on humanity again.

: Regardless of which way you think, please respect the opinion of others and don't create any more violence than there needs to be.
