Except that is not my argument. My argument was that we should not have been there in the first place. That our actions caused this problem. But hey, keeping on stuffing that straw man.

I'm against being an occupying force anywhere. I'm against military solutions. I'm for advocating for change through organic, internal means because that is the only way real change for cultural, social, political, etc., issues will stick. I do not think we should look the other way if we are there, but my position is that we should not be there in the first place.
