Violence solves everything. That's why there are "wars".

Except for the "war" on drugs, poverty, etc., ad nauseum.

[donmeaker]

The war on some drugs is fought to keep the drugs flowing, and restrict competition so that it is profitable.

The war on Poverty forgot to measure poverty AFTER the aid was provided, to assure that poverty pimps would retain cushy government jobs and restrict the use of proven means (like working) to end poverty.
