It is hard to keep in mind that war or getting involved in others issues is no guarantee that a miraculous outcome of peace, prosperity, and fellowship will ensue. The reality, the repetitive lesson is very different.

No matter how much money or lives are thrown at problems of people treating others poorly and disrespectfully, the problem of human nature will never be eliminated.

People problems in any country are the result of a complicated set of factors. There is no easy answer or method to change or fix this. War or change of leadership, historically, has the tendency to just create a somewhat different set of problems. It is a vicious cycle and no amount of money or deaths is likely to solve it. And no country should be expected to be the moral compass or guardian of the 7 billion people in the world. It is not rational, realistic or even possible.

Until we are willing to take off the rose colored glasses, to stop thinking there are simple answers to complex problems, to stop believing the rhetoric/marketing and look at the actions/reality, we will never come close to addressing the horrors humans inflict on one another.
