I understand your pacifist leanings, but think you may be misunderstanding what we are up against.  If we take your approach, it will just be a matter of time before we are being forced to bow to the East and subject to Sharia law.  You cannot reason with unreasonable people.  We are engaged in World War III but most either don't realize it or don't accept it.  

The only thing that will work against this threat is strength and the will to use it.  Copper, once again you can't reason with unreasonable people, nor can you rationalize a response based on your frame of reference.  We are in a new world order, like it or not (I don't), and the sooner we address its consequences and take strong action, the less we will have to suffer as a nation and society.

Copper, the world is full of evil people.  I had rather we address this element sooner than later.  How many innocents have to die before you understand that the only thing they understand and the only thing that will deter them is the destruction of their center of power and knowing that we will do whatever we need to preserve our society and way of life?  I wish we had the luxury of addressing the issue as you suggest.  I don't think we do.
