Label it what you want. It is violence, which was my original point. I know our government would love to promote the idea "do as I say, not as I do", but unfortunately it does not work that way. The government sets the example and the people follow.

Do you really believe that?

My list had 24 examples on it. 4 times longer would mean 96.

Ok...go ahead. Why don't you start with China...

I cannot think of any examples of China sending their military to another country to attack during the last 50 years.

As far as the USSR, I can think of three: Hungary, Poland, and Afghanistan

But I would not consider those 2 countries as particularly "peaceful" countries either.
