I think this discussion was originally about the possibility of imposing order
on the rest of the planet.

Now, if you prefer anarchy on your TV screens, then you are demonstrably in
the minority. Most of Europe (and a sizable percentage of 'Mericans) get all
weepy when they watch starvation, warfare, murder, and massive refugee
movements on CNN. Then then demand that 'something must be done.'

The only realistic thing that can be done is imposing order on those people by
force. Killing enough of the troublemakers that the rest decide it is in their
interest to shut up, sit down, and leave their neighbors alone.

That's all I'm saying. I'm not judging the morality of doing so. I'm just
saying that doing so necessarily involves kicking over a few flowerpots.
Anything else doing the job half-way and in the long
term is too expensive in blood and treasure.
