Diplomacy or weapons.  I get so tired of hearing these choices – like they are all we have.

Conservatives say – the number one job of the government is to protect it’s people by killing the enemy.
Liberals say – negotiate – war doesn’t solve anything.
(yes – these are generalizations.  please recognize that.)

But there are problems with both.

In the case of Islamic terrorists –

my main question for the liberals is – how do you negotiate with someone who wants to kill you?  I mean, really, is there a middle ground between life and death that one can negotiate to?

my main questions for the conservatives is – do you really think you can kill all of them?
