Your course of action can result in the deaths of innocent people as well.
And quite possibly over a far longer period of time.

If you find that insults you, perhaps the shoe fits too well.

In a historical sense, independent of ideology, war is the only thing that actually *does* bring change. Erase World War II and the Cold War, and you likely erase much of the technological and cultural advances of the past 50 years--despite of the fact that the war itself is such a terrible event. In fact, dare I say, World War II ended nearly an eternity of Europe fighting amongst itself.

Alas, I wish I could say that diplomacy was as powerful as war. India's independence from Britain through activism was a rare event indeed. The fact of the matter, though, is that, globally, we aren't sophisticated enough to make it to full diplomatic resolutions to all conflicts. We still have too many people who only understand one thing: death.

STING2 said:I forgot to mention Bosnia and Kosovo. Bosnia was a hell hole in the early 1990s and many people made the same remarks about sending US soldiers into Bosnia and later into Kosovo. "The factions there would never stop fighting and it would be a mess" they said if we sent in troops. 7 years later Not a single US soldier has been killed in combat in either Bosnia or Kosovo. Rather making the region there more unstable, US soldiers have brought peace,security, and stability compared to what was experienced in the 1990s.
