Should We Fight Herod?

My Sunday Scripture and My Reading Notes 2011.7.31.

-----------
The Text: Matthew 14:13-21
-----------


When Jesus received this news he withdrew by boat to a lonely place where they could be by themselves. But the crowds heard of this and, leaving the towns, went after him on foot.

So as he stepped ashore he saw a large crowd; and he took pity on them and healed their sick.

When evening came, the disciples went to him and said, 'This is a lonely place, and time has slipped by; so send the people away, and they can go to the villages to buy themselves some food.'

Jesus replied, 'There is no need for them to go: give them something to eat yourselves.'

But they answered, 'All we have with us is five loaves and two fish.'

So he said, 'Bring them here to me.'

He gave orders that the people were to sit down on the grass; then he took the five loaves and the two fish, raised his eyes to heaven and said the blessing. And breaking the loaves he handed them to his disciples, who gave them to the crowds.

They all ate as much as they wanted, and they collected the scraps left over, twelve baskets full.

Now about five thousand men had eaten, to say nothing of women and children.

May be this is the most difficult part in Bible.
When Jesus heard the news of John, who was beheaded by Herod, Jesus did nothing, or say nothing.

It is very difficult to understand. Why Jesus did nothing to interfere? Later, Jesus himself was killed under the same King.

Should we fight for justice, or just accept it?

If we are to fight, in what manner should we fight?

I would be improved if I were to understand, that Herod is not the enemy or even the target of our aim. Something is more important, and Jesus was busy doing the more important thing, then to fight Herod.
