wars don't work
<p>
The use of force by the US has consistently failed to neutralize its adversaries beyond the sort term.  Examples:
<br>- All three major American wars of the last half century
  -- Korea, Vietnam, Persian Gulf -- ended in stalemate
  or defeat.
<br>- 1986 attempt to kill Libya's Gadhafi with air strikes.
  Result: killed his daughter and 37 other civilians, and
  incited the bombing of Pan Am jet over Lockerbie.
<br>- 1998 bombing of supposed chemical weapons factory in
  Sudan which actually manufactured the country's
  medicines, further alienating them politically.
<br>- 1998 cruise missile attack on bin Laden in Afghanistan
  killed 25 but left bin Laden alive and more dangerous,
  probably inciting 9/11 attack.
<br>- Israel's US-supported attacks on Arabs (esp.
  Palestininians) have failed to create conditions for
  peace or even for long-term US interests.  Instead,
  these wars have generated sufficient hatred to
  transform people into human bombs.
