And he was inspired by Gandhi

Gandhi was a good man, but what many neo-hippies fail to note is that the false peace Gandhi put together was really an illusion while the enemies of Hindi India were amassing power to rekindle their civil war. Maybe a little foresight would have had Gandhi think that sometimes people's intentions are not good and your enemy isn't appeased by good intentions.
This is very similar to the ignorance of Vietnam and the estimated 3 million that were massacred after we left.

And who can forget:

"That which looks for mercy from an opponent is not non-violence."

"Among the many misdeeds of British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest."

Gandhi, An Autobiography, page 446 (Beacon Press paperback edition)

"I think it would be a good idea!"

In reply to a reporter's question, "What do you think of Western Civilization?"

a good quote to throw out to any of the leftists who think they embrace him:

"Among the many misdeeds of British rule in India, history will look upon the act depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest" --Mahatma Ghandhi
