But it undeniably exists because we went in.
Michael's suggestion of "kill anyone not being part of the solution" is
ludicrous considering we knew perfectly well before we went in that our
being there would cause unrest. Wantonly killing the people there will lead
to more people disliking us and causing unrest. Rinse and repeat and you've
got a nice handy recipie for genocide cocktail.
I understand that for better or worse our troops are there. And yes they are
trying to create order. And yes they should obviously try to quell violence.
But a kill 'em all approach is absolutely going to lead to more violence.
Fortunately, I know that most of our efforts there are trying to teach and
build and it's not just about guns blazing.
