you realize that if we drop troops into yemen/syria/etc to try and "beat them" jihadi recruitment skyrockets right? and i'm not saying we have to win hearts and minds just that at one point that was bush's "goal" and a foreign military isn't the best way to make that happen (especially with the torture problems etc).
after we "beat them" all the political factions that couldn't agree in the first place resurface, killing a bunch of people doesn't really change that. WWII is a bad example, germany and japan's populations weren't sectarian or tribal in nature and that was a very nationalist war, whereas this is mainly being perpetrated by stateless actors.
you also seemly weirdly adamant that all the world's problems are 100% caused by democrats. they don't control congress and they didn't start down this path. not saying their blameless by any means, but that fact that you need to mention it in every post just leads to the impression of bias.
