We cannot "make the world better". We can, however, make it safer for truly peaceful folk. Yes, millions of angry, ignorant, ENVIOUS savages will disagree, but we can make millions of bullets. This terrorist foolishness must stop, and NO other nation seems to want to do what is required to stop it. If we must "go it alone", it will be messy. The point to remember is that at the moment an innocent life, unconcerned with the conflict, is taken, the cause becomes non-existent. We did not start this, they did. All else that happens is on them.

A classic "double standard." America is taking "innocent lives, unconcerned with the conflict" every day. They're called "collateral damage." And don't start harping about the 4,000 in New York and Washington. Afghans lost 2,000,000 fighting a war so Americans didn't have to, and the minute their enemy left, the US left them and their ruined country.

It will be messy, soon.

Then we are acting as armed interlopers any time we do gobeyond our own borders, and have no right to expect anything but the treatment always given to people who believe that might makes right.
