Imposing Democracy and Peace
via Pre-Emptive Wars?
By Stanley Arcieri

Democracy is a critical
factor but is absolutely not the primary issue in the Middle
East. The real issue is how we attain our goals or Means and
Ends. Aside from appropriate military solutions, we've been
missing the simple political facts. Respectfully sowing and
reaping goodwill produces positive results. Sowing and reaping
hatred via pre-emptive war has already produced instability,
suffering, torture and death. The further apart our means are
from our ends, the closer we move to creating yet more chaos.
Pre-emptive war has already reaped catastrophic consequences
for us. If we foolishly persist on this course, we will continue
to reap failure and further erode our security and values as
a nation.
