I said "I don't think any sane person could think that violence is never necessary or morally justifiable. It is, however, legitimate to question the validity of some military actions. "

I repeat, I DON'T think that violence is **never**[read: not ever] necessary, meaning I think it is (very) necessary sometimes (i.e. defence). And I think that some (certainly not all) military actions are unjustifiable, meaning things like the Suez Crisis, Vietnam, or carpet bombing Dresden. For offensive or interventionist military action to be justifiable, it has to be for a good reason, properly resourced, and most of all, worth the trouble.
