Limited warfare, as expensive as it may be, and as profitable for some as it may be, is really the only option.
Hence my thread on Multiculturalism is dead say Cameron. The idea that a less efficient system is the only one we can adopt speaks a lot about the morality of such a culture.

Your points about hysterical claims of atrocities is right on. Do you remember, I think during Bush 41, the mantra of "avoiding the appearance of impropriety?" It is as though we avoid doing the right thing so as to avoid appearing to do the wrong thing. One example on a much less dramatic subject is the simple idea of rejecting Obamacare on the grounds that we are broke. We cannot admit this for two reasons: (1). It makes it seem we don't care about those without insurance; (2). We cannot admit being broke.
