Unfortunately, whether you're dealing with a schoolyard bully or national security, violence is the only way, but it should always be a last resort.
I only had to deal with two bullies growing up. One was handled by the parents and one with a bloody nose. Both stopped the problem. But that's not always the case. When I was in the fourth grade there was a family that lived on our block whose 17 year old son was shot to death after he had beat the crap out of another kid who had been picking on his younger brother. Two families were torn apart. It doesn't always have a happy ending.
