Is there always a non-violent option? If we refuse violence will those who use violence simply gain the upper hand?

<http://paceebene.org/pace/user/jarrod-mckenna> Jarrod McKenna is a nonviolence trainer for activists, students and whoever else will listen who shares the gospel of a nonviolent messiah. Jarrod was my guest on <http://sonshinefm.ws> 98.5 Sonshine FM this morning. Hear an extended version of our chat by clicking here <http://media.sonshinefm.ws/feeds/SUN060707_1436.mp3> .   Save the mp3 and listen later just <http://media.sonshinefm.ws/feeds/SUN060707_1436.mp3> right click here and choose where you’d like to save the file. We covered a lot of ground and tried to look at some of the big questions. We explored whether Christianity really promotes non-violence in all situations? If we believe that to be the case how do we reconcile that with the religious right’s belief that George W. Bush is carrying out God’s will by taking his nation to war? Can I really encourage you to take time out to listen to Jarrod. I believe that he will challenge you and give you plenty to think through. http://www.rodneyolsen.net/2007/06/give-peace-chance.html
