Who 'posed' that? It may have been suggested that a small portion of the DoD budget was used for
humanitarian aid, but your statement above is false.
You are the one who says the war in Syria and Afghanistan is for
humanitarian purposes.
Actually I was referring mainly to our response to the use of chemical weapons. I will admit that
more clarity would have been preferable.
I was confused by your anecdotes of people buried up to the neck and
being stoned to death, rape and genital mutilation ... sorry.
Those things are not limited to the places where we find a reason to
go to war.
Yeah. Those things are perfectly acceptable in the modern world because
it's a "cultural" thing. Right.
It is not right and we would not tolerate it in the civilized world
but a huge part of the world is not civilized and bombing them will
not civilize them.
We would be better off trying to civilize the inner cities in the US
with that money.
