Further to the non-violence dilemma, I strongly recommend Alison Weir's scathing response to Bono's waxing lyrical about non-violence in Palestine. She's got one hell of a point.
"For the reality is that nonviolence is only as powerful as its visibility to the world. When it is made invisible through its lack of coverage by the New York Times, the Associated Press, CNN, Fox News, et al, its practitioners are in deadly danger, and their efforts to use nonviolence against injustice are doomed."
