So maybe it's time to stop whining about "we're creating more terrorists!!!!" in defense of non-intervention and just do what is necessary to combat the threat (and, no, I'm not advocating Trump's "Al Capone plan").

Yes. What's one way to do so, maybe stop invading countries, overthrowing governments, bombing and killing civilians. This goes back to at least 1953 when we decided to overthrow the Iranian government.

Can you try to lessen them and prevent a few from happening? Yes. What's one way to do so, maybe stop invading countries, overthrowing governments, bombing and killing civilians. This goes back to at least 1953 when we decided to overthrow the Iranian government.

It is the kind of excuse provided by appeasers from Versailles Treaty justifying the Nazis, our bombing campaign justifying the mass murder by the Khmer Rouge, and supposed bullying justifying the Columbine killers. Some folks always provide excuses for mass murderers.

The world is a dangerous place that is governed by power and force, and the credible threat of wielding it. Since we are living in modern times and live in an increasing mobile and global world, we can no longer hide behind an ocean or a big land mass and ignore events that happen across the globe...at least not for very long. Most certainly, a solid foreign policy can help.... most certainly avoiding tactical strategic mistakes is a good thing....but that's not grounded in human reality. One thing is for sure, withdrawal/weakness is the most dangerous mistake of all.

We try to balance the two sometimes, but when you do that, then you're not strong at either. But there will always be conflicting ideas about it.

If I had ideas, I would have stated them.

But if you're satisfied with only reacting, you can just say that. Or perhaps you have something in mind as an alternative?
