I dunno, Vic. It seems when we use our brawn instead of our brains on
these failed states, we seem to make it easier for terrorists and despots.

A "failed state" is one that can freely harbor terrorists, pirates,
etc. Sometimes nothing works to instill order but brawn.
Using brains would mean getting the locals to use the brawn.
If you can, fine. But you'll still get blamed for the violence.
