I am amazed by how different we see the world. My goal is to stop the attacks by stopping the attackers. I think we can do that, or at least make them impotent. I think being passive is a failing strategy.

Inside that context, "I'd rather be the wolf" translates to "I want to take as many other people out as I can before I go." Which is a valid worldview, I suppose. Unenlightened, but valid.
Wolves only kill when they need to.
