Reply #8: The fact that someone profits does not mean that military

[Flatulo]

action is never justified. If profit or control of resources is the *only* motive for the conflict (ie; Iraq), then I would agree with you.

But I would argue that ignoring radical Jihadis hasn't worked particularly well, and using remotes to kill them is a better choice than invading their countries or carpet bombing entire populations into the stone age.

For a very good read on the history of Islamic radicalism and the threat it poses to the West today, please see 'The Looming Tower - Al Qaeda and the Road to 9/11' by Lawrence Wright.
