Stalin once said: "Death solves any problem, no man, no problem"
which is a bit narrow minded, as death may solve an immediate problem, but many problems spawn from death.
the most extreme way to solve a problem involving a person is to kill them, but it's the wrong way to go about it, and the sooner people realise that violence breeds more violence, we'll be better off

Some people don't learn...
War was ugly and evil but it was still the way things got done on most of the planet. Here in the raw Third World, people hadn’t learned to back down, at least not until after a lot of blood flowed. Victory was for those willing to fight and die. Intellectuals could theorize until they sucked their thumbs right off their hands, but in the real world, power still flowed from the barrel of a gun."
"WHEN ROBERT OAKLEY arrived in Mogadishu on Oct. 8, Aidid was still in hiding. He met instead with the warlord's clan. He told the Habr Gidr leaders that the U.S. military operation against Aidid was over, and that Task Force Ranger's original mission had ended. The Somalis were skeptical.
``You'll see for yourself over time that it's true,'' Oakley said. Then he told them that President Clinton wanted Durant released immediately, without conditions. The Somalis were adamant. Task Force Ranger had rounded up 60 or 70 men from their leadership. The top men, including the two most important men taken on Oct. 3, Omar Salad and Mohammed Hassan Awale, were being held in a makeshift prison camp on an island off the coast. Any release of Durant would have to involve a trade. That was the Somalian way.
``I'll do my best to see that these people are released, but I can't promise anything,'' Oakley said. ``I'll even talk to the President about it, but only after you've released Durant.''
Oakley was careful to say, ``This is not a threat,'' but then he laid out a chilling scenario. He offered it as friendly advice.
``I have no plan for this, and I'll do everything I can to prevent it, but what will happen if a few weeks go by and Mr. Durant is not released? Not only will you lose any credit you may get now, but we will decide that we have to rescue him. I guarantee you we are not going to pay or trade for him in any way, shape or form. . . .
``So what we'll decide is we have to rescue him, and whether we have the right place or the wrong place, there's going to be a fight with your people. The minute the guns start again, all restraint on the U.S. side goes. Just look at the stuff coming in here now. An aircraft carrier, tanks, gunships . . . the works. Once the fighting starts, all this pent-up anger is going to be released. This whole part of the city will be destroyed, men, women, children, camels, cats, dogs, goats, donkeys, everything. . . . That would really be tragic for all of us, but that's what will happen.''
The Somalis delivered his message and ``friendly advice'' to Aidid, in hiding, who offered to hand the pilot right over.

Sadly, war is sometimes the only alternative to given problems. Some countries/ people are too ignorant and refuse to cooperate with the rules and force the world into wars.

have you ever by danger ever attended college? if so, did they coach you any historic previous or have been you hugging a tree that day? greater stupid than a three year previous? Your first clue may be looking in a mirror! "How does human beings killing one yet another sparkling up the worldwide's problems?" It keeps stupid human beings from speaking German, as in us killing them in worldwide conflict 2. might somewhat desire to deliver human beings such as you over to have somewhat chit chat with Al Queda.

I don't remember anyone saying that war or, for that matter,
individuals killing each other was in anyway a solution.
Sometimes there just isn't any other way to get their attention.

If oppressed people are killing off their oppressors, then they are solving the problem of oppression. Not all violence is bad.
