Shall we compare the number of violent deaths in countries where the use of violent
force is common place with the number of violent deaths in countries where the use of
violent force is rare?
It is a culture of peace, rather than the domination of enemies via force, that produces
lasting peace.
There are many hundreds of times fewer violent deaths, illnesses, famines, disasters,
wars, genocides etc. now than there where 2000 years ago. This is not because we
use more force now, but because of medicine, modern farming, law, government and
other such "mere philosophies and good intentions".
