What you are saying is fine and dandy, however what would you do? How would you handle the Al Qaeda/terrorism problem?
Do actually think that wars have taken place without innocent lives being the casualties? Surely you don't believe that past wars and campaigns for freedom have been pure with only the transgressors paying the price! There is much naivitée going on here! War
is ugly! To date, there has been no delicate or innocent way to obtain freedom. The road to gaining and maintaining freedom can be very ugly.
