You missed the point, when the war has allready started, get it over with as soon as possible. Honestly, you can't fight a "humane" war. War isn't nice, never was, never will be. So trying to end it as soon as possible to me is the correct path. I'm not toteing a line here, overwelming firepower, with no holding back, is how I think.

True, I would rather avoid a confrontation, but once the line has been crossed, peace through strength means utilizeing and over welming response.


It's called Pax Romana, Rome had peace for over 200 years...actual peace where there were no wars anywhere within the empire or along it's borders. They had this because everyone knew that if you messed with Rome they didn't negotiate, they sent legions to your city and razed it to the ground. It's harsh yes, but the peace that resulted from this harshness benifited everyone, roads and bridges were built, industry and trade goods flowed, technology advanced and the arts flurished. Being a Roman citizen was what everyone wanted to become.

The US should establish a Pax Americana.
