Newsflash: We're going to be targeted
regardless of whether or not we "learn our lesson," which is a thinly veiled way of saying, "blame the U.S. for the decisions of butchers and make ourselves the only country on the planet that doesn't pursue it's own national interests."
The "Religion of Peace" has been entrenched in self-initiated bloodshed in every corner of the world since not long after it's bloody inception, and today's savages require no more provocation than yesterdays.
We are the country that follows bombings of the Taliban with air drops of food and supplies for innocent civilians. They choose to mass murder innocents for political gain. The two are not moral equals to be judged in a vacuum.
Democrats already proved that what you mean by "learning our lesson" will only make things worse. They retreated from Islamic terrorists in Somalia and it led to nearly a decade of Al Queda attacks, which they further demonstrated that they "learned their lesson" by doing nothing about.
And the people we're talking about aren't naive boobs. They realize that every country's alliances change with their national interests. They're not sitting there aghast that we stopped supporting the Mujahadeen after the Soviets were defeated.
Also, it is total bull**** to say we deprive them of diplomatic, economic, or political ways of dealing with things-as if mass murdering civilians could ever be justified by a group "feeling powerless" in the first place. We reward countries that do the right thing and punish those who commit atrocities and provoke bloodshed, hence the difference in our treatment of North Korea and Libya.
These points you have made are a bunch of disgustingly intellectually dishonest excuses for the sickest animals alive. These are all the same excuses Hitler used. I suppose what he did was acceptable too then.
