Should I Become more Pro-War?

I have long said that non violence works better in democracies, where leaders have some sense of conscience, where the vote hangs heavily on those that ignore the people.  The autocracies, it works less well.  You look at places like Russia and China and you wonder what could crush an autocracy.  I don't see it ending always the same way.  Sometimes too many people protest to arrest.  Sometimes you have to turn to revolution.  Sometimes, like the old Soviet Union or recently with the floods and coal buying fiasco in China, you get yourself in financial trouble trying to compete financially with the west.

But I am in no hurry.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
