Does the U.S. want Trump’s Muslim solution or the vigilantism the E. U. is moving to?

[Hobbes' Choice]

More-so perhaps because we fight for good instead of evil.

I'm sure the Vietnamese people derive great comfort from this thought.

Or Laos, Cambodia, one or two S American countries and most of the Middle East.

Poor little Laos, in America's undeclared war on their land, had more ordinance dropped on them than was dropped in Europe in WW2, kids are still getting their legs blown off from UXO 50 years later, and the US have never really owned up to it nor given adequate compensation.

Not to mention the fact that Kissinger's decision to bomb Cambodia back to the stone age, even though it was nominally a neutral ALLY in this conflict, directly led to the eventual rise to power of the Khmer Rouge and the genocidal holocaust which followed. Perhaps the terms "good" and "evil" have taken on a new meaning since I learned them at school.

On the scale of death and destruction since WW2, it's "our side" that is top of the list beating the Soviet, and Islamic blocs, by far.
I've visited both Laos and Cambodia and can only react with utter horror at the fate of these wonderful people who had to face the thuggery of US soldiers.
Why they do not hate us is puzzling.

So have I, mate, and It broke my heart to be welcomed as if I were a long lost brother rather than the citizen of a nation which colluded in the agony which these people were forced to endure.

Why they do not hate us is puzzling.

It's a lesson, Hobbesy, that's what it is. It's a fucking lesson in what it takes to be a decent human being.

I agree. Through the poverty and deprivation they are the most polite and happy people I've met.

I am saying a third party can shoot to maim instead of kill. ...

I really think this an unrealistic understanding.

I am also saying that living like in the wild west with everyone strapping on a gun is rather stupid.

I think this idea of the 'wild west' is Hollywood's.

They likely do for sure.
