Unless you live in Bagdhad or Mosul. |
And we waited until we were attacked and had to waste a lot of U.S. lives in the process fighting the Japanese in WW2.
Maybe invasions do not prevent war as that is too idealistic, but they do reduce it's effects I believe.
Bagdhad or Mosul would of seen a lot more carnage in the future in my opinion. The entire region probably and it doesn't compare to WW2. I read that 4 million Indonesians (Civilians) died in WW2. We probably could of averted this back then if we were proactive.
