Whilst I enjoy your articles you might be wise to flee from derision lest you become embittered towards a balanced world view. Statements such as, “For every terrorist that is killed ten are created,” harm creditability.
War is the result of politician’s failure to, or failed attempts at negotiation. After the bullets start flying, negotiations are over until a lot of people on both sides, including the innocent, are dead.
WMD? You mean the WMD that Hillary Clinton also assured the American people did in fact exist? Or were you speaking of outlawed chemical weapons used by Saddam to kill thousands of his own people, including women and children?
You did strike factual gold by admitting the need for constant vigilance in political allegiances with the U.S. The current state of foreign affairs has been overlooked to such an extent that foreign affairs have now become domestic. The genocide of Christian women and children in the Middle East, Muslim murderers in Britain, the U.S. and now Australia are the direct result of foreign policy failures if we are to be honest. Of course our governments do not want us to accurately place the blame. We are instead directed to divert our attention to meaningless untruths such as “The war on (spoiled) women,” race, minimum wage and other such nonsense whilst Rome burns.
The failure of politicians is expensive.
