We completely lose our moral high ground and feed the fuel that creates terrorism in the first place. We encourage people in the Middle East to think we are indifferent imperialists who at the end of the day care nothing about human rights and are no better than a petty dictator. From a military standpoint, the benefits in no way shape or form outweigh the costs. |
So we must protect our "Moral High Ground" to protect our image in countries with drastically different morals than us? Does that mean that we should ban gay marriage, start stoning homosexuals, and allow husbands to rape their wives?
For the most part the reason why "Americans" (more realistically this would be "Westerners") are hated throughout the middle east is due to indoctrination and propaganda. No matter what the "Americans" do, nothing is going to stop clerics in the middle of Afghanistan or Iran from talking about how evil they are and how they need to be destroyed because this hatrid is exactly how these people are controlled.
