Personaly, I'm not an advocate of non-violence. In my experience avoiding violence is very important, but there are going to be cases where you must fight. But we've already had this debate if I remember. It didn't go anyware. haha.
I'm of the opinion that non-violence is a higher path and a better resolution to any problem. I think it's the future we should be looking for. Having said that I think there probably are legitimate cases for violence remaining, particular in self-defence. Launching invasions on countries that you don't like is never going to work too well though. It's basically mass murder with no legal or moral basis.
