Are you saying that misguided interventionism won’t anger people in the countries involved?

Are you furthe suggesting that even doing the right things for the right reasons still won’t cause anger and backlash?

If you step between your next door neighbor and his wife as he beats her, do you think that he is going to thank you or will he look for ways to retaliate?

Actions have consequences. Even good actions can bring negative consequences.

“Are you saying that misguided interventionism won’t anger people in the countries involved? Actions have consequences. Even good actions can bring negative consequences.”

I’m saying that anyone who believes that all we have to do is come home and leave the muslim extremist alone and they will leave us alone is woefully misinformed.

Let me ask you a question. Do you believe that US foreign policy should be determined by those who murder innocent civilians?

“If you step between your next door neighbor and his wife as he beats her, do you think that he is going to thank you or will he look for ways to retaliate?”

Which is more important, preventing the violence or avoiding retalitation?
