Believing war to be a crime against humanity, the War Resisters League, founded in 1923, advocates Gandhian nonviolence as the method for creating a democratic society free of war, racism, sexism, and human exploitation.

Nonviolence can only succeed when used against people with morals. Had Gandhi attempted nonviolent protest in Nazi Germany he would have ended up a lampshade on Hitler's desk.

I believe that Hitler finally realized that the Brits were cowards when he told Lord Halifax to shoot Ghandi, and Halifax thought he was joking.
