I am just playing the devil’s advocate for a moment. Would a Ghandi-like approach work for the United States after 9-11? Would passive resistance have worked for the United States in fighting terrorism. Would presenting an image of meekness and an unwilling to fight cause the terrorists rhetoric to loose credibility and the enemies of the United States would rot from the inside out?
Of course I a not advocating this approach but I thought it would be a good topic to start.
