One of the saddest lessons of history, and one that apparently has to be relearned again and again because we just don't seem to get it, is that, in the end, the means are the ends. It always seems as if violence can be a short cut to what we most desire, but it always turns out that you can't get there from here. I have been feeling very sad today. I love the hope and determination in your post, my friend. Don't ever let your voice be silenced.
