You present an interesting question.
If I believed that by laying down our arms, all the violence would stop, one death would be too many. However, I do not believe if we layed down our arms the violence would stop. I also think we would be targets of violence no matter what we do at this point. There is too much history that has caused too much hatred for fighting parties (including the US) to forgive and forget. We are dealing with a fundamental flaw in human nature, I can not think of anything on this earth presently that will stop the cycle of violence. Based on that I would rather be the wolf, not the lamb.
