I hate politics with violence. Some body said to me that politics and violence are two heads of a coin. I don't agree with it. History shows many wars and murders regarding political incapability. These can all be avoided. But some people used such violence in order for their goodness.Non violent politics can be seen in many parts of the world.If politicians handle temper situations logically most of the violence can be avoided. What is your thought on these matters?

I see violence in a broad scope... including economic and terrorist actions. I have to agree with what Robert A. Heinlein alluded to in his book, Starship Troopers (not the movie - the movie does the book absolutely no justice):
"Anyone who clings to the historically untrue - and thoroughly immoral - doctrine that 'violence never settles anything' I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and of the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee, and and the jury might as well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at it's worse."
