Violence is ultimately the source of all power. And politics is power. No violence, no politics, in one sense. One man's terrorist is another freedom fighter and all that.
I guess it's all about the details. Where the devil lives.
Well, that may be true in a way, especially if it is really an emergency situation, but keep in mind; whether it's "no matter what" or "some of the time", there are many, many ways to solve problems in life. We don't have to resort to violence when there are many ways to get something done. Not saying this in terms of libertarian free will, but those ways do exist. Even if there a situation with a fast response needed to stop something bad from happening, there is always more than one way.
There is a thing called preparation, which we can use in advance should a threat be detected and needs a fast response without violence, so violence does not have to be necessary.
