Hmmmm.... I didn't say that meaningful change only happens through
violence. If you read that into my note, you're simply reading your own
fantasies...
When people say a "stable world" it could mean many things. I deliberately
spoke about "scientific dogma," as this "scientific stability", is,
apparently, what the Vorts are continuously fighting against.
There is no such thing as stabiity either in the external or internal
worlds, and so far, it seems to me that all those who have tried to create
a stable world, have tried to force stability on "the masses." Take a look
at a number of dictatorships and see if all the dictators of the world were
or were not prepared to use violence to enforce stability, because they
knew that instability could be their downfall. So it seems in fact that
stability is often gained - or attempted - through violence, the overall
idea being "If only everybody believed and behaved as I do, we would have a
nice, stable world."
Our enemies - and we do have enemies - would like to impose their type of
stability on us; they've said as much: that eveyone should think and dress
and behave (and pray, if you're into that) one way only - their
way. Stability.
You want a reasonable way to unseat the terrorists? Make their lives
continuously unstable.

Propaganda.
Do you think meaningful change ONLY happens through violence?
e.g. Canada did not take the America path to independence.
