Does Violence Lead to More Violence???

I think that it does. In Julius Caesar, Caesar killed Pompeii. Then the supporters of Pompeii ganged up to kill Caesar in Act 3. So Antony gets mad (Act 3 still) and kills off the people who killed Caesar(act 4 and 5). This is supported in WWII when people slowly joined the war when other people were violent to them. One example is when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor so the United States bombed them back with nuclear weapons. A lot of this is an eye for an eye. If one person/nation/faction is violent, then the people they were violent to feel that they need revenge so they fight back. Then that can go back and forth for a very long time. An even more modern event that supports that is the U.S.'s war with Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan. Somebody destroyed the twin towers so the U.S. goes and kills of evil dictator Sadam Husain and alot of other Middle Easterners so they fight back too.
