And they say that violence solves nothing! To paraphrase something I heard a while ago: "In the history of the world, more problems have been solved with naked force than by any other means; it's just not considered polite to point that out."
Of course, violence CAUSES just as many problems as it solves, but one can't honestly say that it solves nothing.
I feel that it is a misrepresentation to claim that violence was the power behind the solution. Millions of people protested; violence was, comparatively, a rarity.
