Dropping bombs because you're "threatened" is wrong.  We were threatened by "communism".  We were threatened by Iraq.  We're somehow threatened by Syria.

Just one of these times instead of replying with bombs we reply with trying to make things better for the people that "threaten" us.  You're not going to make me cooperate and be your friend by punching me in the face.  I understand: responding with kindness often requires more bravery than shooting bullets.
