source is wikipedia. yes, that is what I'm saying. I don't view a religious civil war between hindus and muslims over pakistani independence to be violence with a purpose. I see all violence as purposeless. the product of ignorance that could have been avoided. I say this not as a high minded ideal, but as simple rational appraisal. violent action is rarely economical unless the aggressors are able to externalize the costs of their aggression onto some other group. support for war is often drummed up through appeals to ignorance on the part of the populace supporting the aggressors.
