"Otherwise,resorting to violence will not solve any problems, as violence begets violence"

Yeah, we should have responded to Pearl Harbor with apologies, that would have made the Japanese behave much more nicely at Bataan.

"violence will not solve any problems"

Rubbish. Violence solves lots of problems. It may not always be moral, but that is a different question. But to say that it doesn't solve problems is patently and demonstrably false.

She should read a little Heinlein, specifically, "Starship Troopers", where his H.S teacher nails one of the student who makes the same complaint, and says,in sum and substance, that they should have a debate between Hitler and Wellington on the subject, with the Dodo, Great Auk, and Passenger Pigeon as judges, just before observing that violence had solved more problems in history than anything else.
