I have none. I am political. I think people should choose not to get violent, and there is much that can be done, like yoga and meditation (being angry is like having bad breath), and when they absolutely can't, lawful authority should step in and get in the way, by use of force if necessary. Inside democratic countries that would be the police. Between countries, it can be an army. In short, war should be absolutely avoided as much as possible. All other options have to be exhausted first. And I believe I am pretty good at thinking of all those other options. In fact, almost no war is necessary, especially today. Because all that is political. But then that threat of force expands those non military options. So you have to appreciate. And once in a while you just have to go in. And that is the domain of military experts. The best ones must be born that way. Training can take you only so far. And so people like me watch Zero Dark Thirty with rapt attention. You know it's not your domain, but you could at least appreciate the craft. It's a craft. People who are good at it are really good at it. You can admire them like you can admire good soccer players, or good pottery markers, or good anybody in anything.
Some day there will be rule of law between nations. But there will still be law enforcement.
