We would get blamed for being isolationist and not helping weaker nations if we stood by. It is a damned iudo, damned iudon't scenario in military scenarios. |
The US does not have carte blanche to violate a nation's borders whenever it sees fit. It is this hubris that causes the world to disdain the US and view it is an irresponsible power. The negative views associated with this raid will have much more of an impact than killing a few insurgents. What do we accomplish if we eliminate a few people only to inspire and galvanize countless others against our cause...nothing.
