...individual’s property without his consent. Initiation is the key term. If you are attacked, or if your life is in danger, you have the right to defend yourself, because you have a property right in yourself. The word coercion includes all forms of aggression, including rape, murder and military aggression, as well as many things (for example, pickpocketing or theft) that do not involve an overtly violent act. That is, “coercive” is not the opposite of “nonviolent.” It is the opposite of “consensual?...
...military response. As Frankfurter Professor of Law Alan M. Dershowitz has proposed, the Israeli Defense Forces should release a list of targets that will be destroyed in response to each terrorist attack. That way Palestinian terrorists will know exactly who among their own people they harm when they commit murder so they can properly weigh their own perceived costs and benefits...
...after the clashes in 1993, the hate swiftly receded. Today, the opposite is happening. The chaos in Gujarat was supposed to be quelled when the army was belatedly sent in.

Vigilante patrols from each side keep watch over their respective communities. Among Hindus, talk of finishing the job left undone from the genocide of partition, in which up to a million people died in the bloody split...
Tommy Suharto could at least pretend to be worried. After all, Jakarta's onetime crown prince and playboy-in-chief had just sat through the first few days of his trial for the murder of a Supreme Court Justice last year. If convicted, he could face the death penalty. But life in Jakarta's maximum security penitentiary seems to agree with the 39-year-old Tommy, the youngest son of Indonesia's former dictator Suharto. After four months in prison awaiting trial, he arrived for the opening legal arguments last week at a central Jakarta courthouse looking rested...
