Jack Scratch's Case For War
"The world is a much safer place when the powerful actually use their power and much less safer when they don't." -- David Baldacci
The USA could wipe out the problem in the Middle East in days. Certainly, there would be innocents who would die, but what was the difference between millions killed in ten minutes or in ten years?They'd still be dead and you will have avoided a decade of misery and uncertainty. There are many of my acolytes who would gladly provide every weapon needed to extinguish savages. Think of the employment possibilities. Isn't it always about us versus them? Only the strong survive. The weak always die. It is the natural order.
Put the big boys in control and you get mutually assured destruction, or MAD which is a term used from the cold war and the subject of much fear, all of it misplaced. MAD was actually the greatest stabilizing force in history, but because so many people were ignorant of how the world really functioned, they would be appalled by such a statement. MAD provided certainty, predictability, and perhaps annihilation of certain aspects of humanity for the greater good.

Why mess with the middle east unless you want to take over their oil fields from them (which is what we wanted I think). As to islam, keep it out of this country since it is an intolerant and evil religion that we dont have to allow in the name of freedom (since THEY dont want that).
This attacking other countries to "keep us safe" doesnt seem to work very well unless we are willing to just take over the countries and kill all the people who dont knuckle under like the dictators do. I dont remember any terror incidents while Saddam was ruling Iraq.
If N Korea attacks us, we should level their country for the next 100 years until the radioactivity dissipates and be SERIOUS about doing just that. I suspect fat boy would not want to attack us if he was convinced he would be dead and his whole country destroyed.
The reality of power. Witness Trumps specific no nonsense warning to the inbred N. Korean rocketman.
Far to long we have funded a military to handle just about any threat only to find the greatest threat is the self imposed restrictions to act on the soldier on the ground .

I worried for mankind but I didn't understand why...today, I do, but my apprehensions are for Conscious man and those that might become so.
There is still a part of me that might quietly agree but I wonder how the future left, all things being cyclical, would torture us with that history.
Maybe we could make "them" do it, since they are the one's concerned about the "Greater Good".
Your tongue and cheek wiping of some of humanity might have gone too far with the removal of evil. It sometimes reminds me of the wiping of humans as vermin as described by Peikoff in his Ominous Parallels dealing with the philosophical source of the German Nazi movement.
If those alive are considered, there will be a future of millions born, some good and some will turn out evil. If evil is wiped out with just some collateral good dead for some greater good, the future born will be different, just different good and evil. It is generally agreed that slavery was evil and should not have happened. That would have wiped out billions of present day humans because different conditions would exist in most conceptions taking place throughout history as sperm race for ova. Different conditions, different consciousnesses produced. Perhaps even you might not have existed and maybe would have been replaced with some non-Herb7734. One should be happy to be alive because it might have been else wise had the evil never happened. It takes some mental fortitude to accept that one is alive due to past evil. Time travel to the past, which most likely is not possible, would have to prohibit any tinkering with the past, although time travel to the future is what happens now with good and evil persons acting all the way to that future.
In answer to the first question, we must narrow this down. Are we talking Iran? Israel? Islam? Hinduism? What exactly? In the second, we have to evaluate whether or not we are acting defensively or tyrannically.
today we have an interesting situation where the US could muster a large army except the powers to be are all politicians including the joint chiefs, they too are politicians, so all that takes place is talk. not a one of those people that we the people put in power give a damn about the country so there will not be a war. notice that we are "guarded" with our return fire when we are attacked. the soldiers in the field get booted out of the military if they do something the actually saves soldiers lives. case in point is Major West.
