You can bring in the sectarian violence if you want, but the colonies also had their own differences, no? Yet, I would think this simple comparison would give reason why things should be left alone in the region, period. If someone wanted to take over your house or worse, your country...wouldn't you fight tooth and nail today to defend it? Has ANYONE in government tried to look at such an approach and sum up why its useless...sure, we gotta fight terrorism, but haven't more people been killed by cigarettes, cancer and AIDS? Where's the billions of dollars and nationalism over that stuff? Since 9-11, how many US citizen civilians have actually been killed by a terrorist act that didn't want to be in such a situation (Haliburton employees, missionaries)?
Sure, I hear everyone say this stuff about Bin Laden and how we wanna catch him...but on what grounds? Bad film editing? Are people in the United States so naive and mentally flimsy? We should be on the White House lawn!
