re: Peace or not?

That leaves American power weaker than had it never been used.

Indeed , Cold War was all about deterrence. If the US had not invaded Iraq, it would still be feared. But now that the cards have been shown, the other players know something the US should have kept hidden.

what is necessary to survive against the barbarians

Vhy does the US need to create enemies? It's amazing how demonizing is easy and effective in the US...No place to understand why such and such group hates the US?
After all, they also have children and they get hurt by weapons, bombs and if the children survive the war, they develope feelings that can becme very dangerous to later innocent victims.
The children had been innocent until they were faced by the destruction coming from the other side. Then they were victims, then they might also become human bombs.
History is full of examples where the cycle of violence stops. But not in the Middle-East.

The idea that one can kill their way to peace is that of children

Bowser is absolutely wright.

I'm not convinced Israel wants peace, knowing they are protected by the most powerful country in the world, anyway. Peace does mean concessions.
