In conclusion then your answer is that the only way to deal with our problems is bloodshed and that a winner of that conflict must be determined in battle with the nominal victor being free to deal with the aftermath?
No. My answer is that I fear we shall get to the point where this becomes the only option left. People will seemingly not abandon the behavior which puts us on this path.
It is all too predictable where we are going, just as it's all too predictable where Europe is going. Better to object and confront now than object and confront later.
