Hosni Mubarak Should Heed John F. Kennedy's Message: "Those Who Make Peaceful Revolution Impossible, Make Violent Revolution Inevitable"


I have repeatedly argued for non-violent - as opposed to violent - protests.

I hope that the Egyptian protesters remain peaceful.

But - as many Twitterers note - Hosni Mubarak should heed John F. Kennedy's message:

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.
