Excellent Post Mary Anne........

Too bad you have to spell it out for them. I wanted to, but I'm either short of breath, time or patience.....or all three. What seems obvious to us, appears to be lost on those who take the "high road" called revenge. Those that think that military power can solve everything and and everything AND protect us.
>"We don't call out military strikes against our own people, yet we seem to think that the results in other nations would somehow be different than, say, dropping precision bombs in Los Angeles" (to fight the Crypts and Bloods).
Excellent analogy! Too bad if there are "mistakes" along the way!
And this >"I think we feel more comfortable waging war abroad because those other places are far away, but that's my opinion."
Well, you have sanitized live news and photo ops, NOT of the dead bodies and body parts, not of our soldiers coming home in body bags, but censored mass media that has been cleaned up and spoon-fed to the masses with some freedom rhetoric behind it and it's all but eaten up by the zombied masses. People are so out of touch with reality these days. Tom, you're a perfect example of an idealist. But you go about it with zero compassion for anyone except yourself. And then you just whine about it.
I really have no beef with you, just your udeas and lack of critical understanding of the plights of others.
