................................
Philosophically, is it possible, or even a correct equation, to kill; to express violence, in order to express the emotion of non-violence.
I am thinking about Syria, Assad, and the United States current considerations.
Without question, if we react we are sure to actually kill innocent people...which is what we are reacting to and trying to curb.

What are we actually doing?
Are we burning ourselves?
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
