Take it up with God, then. The challenge presented here is the most literal rendering of damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't I've ever seen. There are no good answers here *at all*. Of course we're entitled to some measure of justice, but I take it as a given that our pursuit of that right will itself cause injustice and further intensify Anti-American sentiment worldwide. Only a miracle can prevent a completely nightmarish outcome. As McReynolds notes so acutely: "Wars, once under way, have an illogic all their own."
The time to develop *good* solutions to foreign policy problems was in the past two decades, when Reagan, Bush I, and Clinton bestrode the narrow world like cardboard colossi and encouraged Americans to live in a state of fantasy. Now it's too late.
