Agressively confronting violence with only love at hand
"Gandhi sought to lead the force of love into contructive channels wherever it had gone astray and he was always ready to meet men to try to persuade them to relinguish their trust in violence as a method". (Arne Næss, Gandhi and the Nuclear Age, 1965, pg 106)

I really respect Gandhi's aggressive philosophy towards resolving group conflict...but can this be applied to other types of conflict? Is an aggressive stance towards resovling a problem always the best solution, or can plain pacifism be more effecitve in some scenarios?
