Re: An analogy

Gandhi said Nazism could have been beaten through non violent means, although he admitted the casualty rate would have been enormous.

I think the fight against fascism should have been fought, and fought earlier to keep the casualty rate low.

I am not proposing an action that will certainly lead to civilian deaths, but neither can I sit back and live my life by pacifist example when the cluster bombs start falling.

If someone went berserk with a gun on my street and started killing my neighbours, I would be prepared to kill him and I would be prepared the risk the lives of my flatmates to achieve this if there was no other way non fatal. For me, nationality isn't important, innocent civilian deaths must be minimised using minimum force.

If you suggest a strategy as peaceful and effective as mine in the short term, then I'll change my mind.
