Rick,
        Clearly, by your reliance upon dictionary definitions, you are
a "letter of the word" man and are unable to transcend that
limitation. I ask you to look at the spirit of your words. You are
proselytizing violence as a solution to surviving in an already
established violent world.

       Your reliance upon the impotence of the "letter" of  words has
left you with an incomplete grasp of what has been communicated. Your
fragmented conclusion has prevented you from engaging in holistic
understanding. 

        Look at the double bind you have put yourself in.  You're
damned if you do and damned if you don't.  Is your solution to put on
a deceptive mask of civility to face the world, while inwardly you are
seething with anger and fear?  That's already being done, for isn't
that how the world of civilized man functions?

       Your approach to peace would seem to support the present inane
momentum of hypocrisy found in images such as deceptive diplomats who
put forth a highly-honed image of wanting peace (through artful
misdirection with their persuasive use of flowery, positive imaged
words) while knowing all the while that behind the scenes intriguing
machinery has already been set into motion  to carry out secret plans
to  invade, plunder, rape, and pillage others for the sake of profit
and power.     SOME PEACE ! !
