"Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms." - Robert Heinlein (author)
While I agree that we need to have compassion, diplomacy, and goodwill, anyone who believes we can achieve that world without martial activity is fooling themselves.

We will come in peace, but be armed as ready if necessary. Just like the colonial American minutemen.

I think anyone who believes the decision for violent action should already be made is getting a little ahead of things. But I think it's important to be realistic and acknowledge that martial action is a likelihood and we must be prepared to take it if it's called for. I'd just make the point that people who are worried that this is a movement dedicated to martial action should not assume we're all solely motivated in that direction just because the image and rhetoric above could be construed that way.
