i agree violence emanating from the mid-east is an intrinsic problem, not extrinsic. i also disagree with knee-jerk empathy for ‘oppressed’ people. it’s a problem that needs to be confronted very clearly.
i’m in agreement on the what and why.
the disagreement i expressed is in the how. like the casual comparison to empire. it’s so lazy to say you can whack a few more of them and solve the problem like a well-oiled empire. that really helped the french in algeria.
you can only win if you define a problem correctly. so jg, why don’t you state the problem and explain how this current strategy is a good answer?
