>> The number of Western civilians killed by Islamic militants pales in comparison to the number of non-combatants that have died at the hands of the US and its military allies in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and Yemen.

This is the same idiotic rationale by which fools are comparing the number of dead Palestinian Arabs with the number of dead Israelis, the so-called "asymmetry" of a war the Palestinian Arabs started.

The United States did NOT go looking for trouble with these people. They were the aggressors, not us. Saddam attack Kuwait, which posed a national security threat to the US. Bin Laden attacked the US, first in '93 and then in '01.

The predominant religion in the Mideast is murderous and aggressive. And either the US will have to stop it or it will continue to roll.

We are not close to having done enough and the eight year hiatus on self defense isn't helping.
