If we're really going to stop the genocide and the terrorism, then we have to be prepared to go all the way. Applying band-aids to those wounds we find it politically expedient to treat is like trying to stop the heroin trade one street dealer at a time.

I s'pose my view of imperialism is more negative than yours. I see it tending more towards genocide than order.
A very orderly genocide, but still.
