Re: The religion of peace takes responsibility for the dozens slain in Nairobi.
Ok, we're not very far apart and I did say that in this particular conflict military action should be surgical and not devastating. And responding to people on our soil attacking us here at home, yes, I agree, then its gloves off.
I'm not suggesting we turn the place into a parking lot. I'm suggesting that we demonstrate forbearance, and not get too involved in their internal affairs. I have no interest in the sectarian strife there. When their violence spills into my country, however, I will take the gloves off. These people understand defeat. Anything less is considered weakness. Whatever is required for the agressors to understand that we will not tolerate their agression and that they will suffer gravely as a result I would endorse in that instance. I have no interest in killing innocents, but if innocents are to be sacrificed, it's going to be theirs, and not ours. I do believe that the use of the military is a fundamental failure, but I will never rule it's use out, and I will encourage our adversaries to understand that it's always available and generally devastating. I'm not into nation building. We built ours. They can build theirs after their own fashion.
