Now you've gone too far the other way....Gandhi was certainly not
a coward nor was he a slacker.

People like Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. were not fighting PURE
EVIL. They were fighting pig-headed stupid people who's hearts could
be, and were, changed by forcing them to confront their consciences.

They knew it would work because they knew their opponents had good
hearts in most cases, most. That's the place where non-violence (or
pacifism) works. The tactic is not applicable to Osama, or Saddam,
or Hitler and all their thugs. In those cases, pacifism is just
called suicide.
