I know thats a lame answer but my oppinion changes day to day. The problem with a peaceful approach is that you get stepped on quite easily by those that have no qualms about violence. If you turn to violence you will be painted by the other side as vile and uninterested in peace and vice versa.
One person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter. Perhaps a cliche in this day and age but I think it applies here.
