1000 years of western intervention. The dirge that keeps on giving. Hey, what's another 1000 years. 

Oh that darn concept of "collateral damage" so often espoused by the beneficiaries of the military industrial complex. 

"Don't worry folks, we have to occasionally accidentally kill innocents that you can't see, so that you'll be safe. Oops, and don't forget; accidents do happen. Shoot, it's not our fault that some of us get wealthy from the ugly perpetuation of endless war that we contribute too. Someone has too." 

There is no way around it outside of ending the policy of intervention and minding our own business. And boy, that kind of logic is the first thing to go.
