Very true -- martyrs earn much more kudos if they are not aggressive themselves. A peaceful protestor killed by a bulldozer a couple of years ago struck a very powerful chord worldwide, and earned more sympathy for the plight of Palestinians' suffering than a suicide bombing would have done. There is a huge moral difference between self-sacrifice and sacrifice of others. Non-violent action acts like judo, turning the aggressor's own force against him.

"There is no road to peace - peace is the road" as Gandhi said.

Constant retaliation results in a vicious cycle of decline, creating ever more aggrieved victims. The only way to halt it is for someone, anyone, to NOT RETALIATE. It may be hard, very hard, to restrain that base instinct, but think how much harder it becomes after each new retaliation. As another saying goes "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind".
