Force is unnecessary for most cases. Using force is desirable only for those
who favour violence. If violence is returned with violence, nobody wins. The
shedded blood is only a waste. Thailand is a world model country that
diffused a violent incident with non-violence. It is not fear but a desire
and the eagerness of the Thai authorities to solve the problem with patience
and peace. Fujimori of Peru might have been given credit for having solved
the crisis of the politcal violence in his country but he will always have
to watch his back for the way he sorted out the problem. It is never wrong
to consider to use peaceful resolutions when there is violence.
Demonstrtions turn into riots and if riots are crushed by means of rmed
supression, chances are more riots will come back sooner or later.
