Peace by definition is a lack of violence. Period. So if someone uses violence to stop violence, God may allow that, but it does not mean they are peace makers.<BR/><BR/>So shannon w kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18390185288307989465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14329968.post-44761816742670045182007-10-16T23:41:00.000-04:002007-10-16T23:41:00.000-04:00Oh get off it Shannon.

By definition, peace would mean a lack of violence (even warranted violence), and thus we really can't call our soldiers 'peacemakers'.
