Oh, and just so you know where Im coming from on this:
You are only looking at the immediate problem. This is the kind of thinking that has gotten us into this situation in the first place. This is why Al-Queda became so strong with US support, this is why Iraq was able to get so many chem and biological weapons. This is why Iran became an Islamic republic, this is why we supported a brutal dictator in Vietnam, guaranteeing our efforts there would fail.
It is this boneheaded idea that we should only deal with the problem right infront of us with no thought towards what that means to the future that we are currently in the mess that we, as a country, are in... and this idea that our agreements are only valid when it's convenient to us is why we are so hated across so much of the world.
Open your eyes and look ahead for once and consider, for once, that our actions now does have an impact on the future and that while right now, we might be able to save a few more lives by doing whatever by whatever means possible... but that carries a very real possability of costing more lives in the future, much like how Reagans decisions in the 80's are costing us so many lives today.
