"Turn the other cheek" is a fine Christian value but it usually just invites a second slap.
Break the slapping hand though and it slaps no more...

This is true, and it is a sad fact of life that violence like that will always continue, and the only way to contain it without submission is through violence. An eye for an eye making the whole world blind. We all wish for a day when all wars will end, but even our most destructive weapons cannot bring about peace on earth because they cannot change human nature.
We're better than we were a thousand years ago, but we've still got a long way to go.
