I wonder why people that are advocates of peace and helping others, like Martin L. King, JFK, RFK, Ghandi etc. get murdered. Why do they threaten some people so much? They don't kill or maim anyone.

How do we know what the assassins agendas are?
How many dictators, tyrants, etc have been assassinated since 1963?

Hey, The_Doc, that thinking is exactly what keeps people from accomplishing great things. Don't we have to be willing to be in a minority in order to affect change?

Cause peace advocates are viewed as a threat to their overall plan so they must be eliminated for speaking the truth.

I think that impossible to group these people together. MLK was killed by a racist, JFK by a communist, RFK by a nutjob (I still haven't figured this one out), and Ghandi by a religious fanatic. The fact that they supported peace was not the reason they were killed. None of their assassins wanted war.

They ignore the lessons of history that say when you become too peaceful, you become a ripe target for being overrun. A peace advocate weakens us as long as aggressive international opponents still exist.
If all the world could change to a more peaceful posture in one massive change, it would be great. But the simultaneous taming of all rogue nations and multi-national terror groups at the same time is highly unlikely.

The assassins work for people who have their own idea of what peace should be.
