The interesting thing is that after i believe 12 years of war in Afghan and i think it was 7 in Iraq there are still people who advocate streaming in and using force to solve the issue. Is Afghan really a stable and prospeous nation again? Iraq clearly isn’t.
It is rather dis-heartening that some humans seem incapable of using the one ability that differentiates them from the other animals, the ability to think, to actually bother to understand that whilst force may indeed be an element of the answer it is never going to be the only answer.
Frustrating and crap as it may be the only way to defeat such stupid ideologies as fundamentalism in all it’s forms is to understand the causes of it and address those. One of the elements used may indeed be force but it should always be accompanied by other strategies.
