The U.S. invades Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and bombs civilians.

Muslims invade the U.S and bomb civilians.

The similarities are more pronounced than the differences.

There are radicals on both sides.

If anyone invades the U.S. , even a friend like Canada, to eliminate drug cartells, or whatever threat to their homeland, we Americans would be very upset.  Where ever we lived, in the U.S. or Pago Pago, we would perhaps try to exact revenge on the Canadian interests there.

There are always going to be radicals.  We need to conduct ourselves in a manner that will not provoke retribution.  We need to let the Iraqies, the Afghans and the Pakistanies solve their own problems.  We can support all sides with aid and a forum to resolv their differences.
