>Because what you are describing is literally anarchy. It’s antithetical to our foundational principles as a society. If the society has failed, people will use violence to build a replacement. This is the system. Its always been the system. What you are saying here, is that stability is more important than fixing a system that is killing people. >Opposition to the war on terror is not a fringe position in the United States. And non violent opposition didnt really end it in any reasonable time frame. >How do you identify the 1/10? The bullets and blood will be a pretty good indicator. >Do you really wonder? Do you really, honestly not know the difference? I find that very hard to believe. The difference is that foreign murder doesn't challenge the stability and comfort that the state provides you, where as local murder might spread to you, and you might need to change your behavior to avoid it. Its just plain old discomfort and hypocrisy. To paraphrase a common internet saying, the f*king around is fine, you simply dont want to find out.
