A Waroholic Wishes You Peace on Earth

"Imagine an alcoholic who managed every night to get a hold of and consume huge quantities of whiskey and who every morning swore that drinking whiskey had been his very last resort, he’d had no choice at all.

Easy to imagine, no doubt. An addict will always justify himself, how ever nonsensically it has to be done.

But imagine a world in which everyone believed him and solemnly said to each other “He really had no other choice. He truly had tried everything else.”

Not so plausible, is it? Almost unimaginable, in fact. And yet:

Everyone says the United States is at war in Syria as a last resort, even though:

The United States spent years sabotaging UN attempts at peace in Syria.

The United States dismissed out of hand a Russian peace proposal for Syria in 2012.

And when the United States claimed a bombing campaign was needed immediately as a “last resort” in 2013 but the U.S. public was wildly opposed, other options were pursued.

Everyone says the United States is killing people with drones as a last resort, even though in that minority of cases in which the United States knows the names of the people it is aiming for, many (if not all) of them indisputably could have been easily arrested."

Again, I know that other countries, including my own, have also played a large role in the mess in the ME and NA, but I can't change the titles. We've got to stop this shit.
