"Violence leads to more Violence."
Well, most of the time this statement is true, because human beings react solely on danger, but it can also be wrong. For instance, there are times when swift and necessary action have saved the day. However, even swift action can lead to violence, for example in Julius Caesar, Brutus believed that assassinating Caesar would free Rome. Instead, this small act caused a full scale revolution and civil war. The death of Cinna the Poet is also a good example. A man who had nothing to do with the conspiracy to kill Caesar was murdered to quench the bloodlust of the rioters. Also, going back in American history, a blacksmith threw a rock at a American boy. The result of this puny act was the Boston Massacre. Even today, in the modern social environment we exist in, a threat is always responded to with another threat. The terrorist attack of 9/11 and from there straight to the Iraq War. In places where this statement is wrong, the death of Adolf Hitler lead to the freedom of Europe and Germany. So in my opinion this statement is mostly true, and only sometimes, in the presence of great individuals, wrong.
