I must be confused. Do you mean combatting genocide by genocide?
My point was focused on capitalism actually. It is the results of the best of capitalism that has given us a measure of American prosperity that permits us to defend against the indefensible.
That often means war. The Pope seems to frame social opinions rather than an educated understanding of a market economy.
He spoke, FINALLY, of genocide in the Middle East. He has spoken OFTEN of the ailments associated with American interests. His accusatory remarks against capitalism were the most recent.
I was correlating those remarks against capitalism with his delayed notice of genocide in the ME. I was trying to say that it is American capitalism that provides us the means and guarantees the promise that the USA can afford to end that genocide in about a week. Scorching the earth is a metaphor for war against ISIS in Iraq.
End ISIS and you end genocide. Dilly dally with ISIS and you are complicit in the genocide. Obama has arranged to sponsor the terrorism by returning the $150 billion to IRAN.
