Deploying diplomacy and technology does. And just how did that prevent the first, second and third WTC bombings? How did it prevent the Embassy bombing in Africa which was considered a terrorist free area by our State Department? Let's go back a little. How did the diplomacy prevent Hitler from attacking England? How did diplomacy prevent Hitler from attacking the Soviet Union (even after they signed a mutual assurance treaty)? Now let's move forward a little. How did diplomacy and technology prevent Hussein from attacking Kuwait? We could always throw in Israel and Palestine which have been coordinated, mediated and negotiated to death (literally). I know of not one American who advocates war. I know many who agree with a famous American - Reagan, who said that the best way to prevent a war is to be ready for it.
