text: I have to only generally agree. Facts "should" matter. They unfortunately matter far, too, little today, generally supplanted by opinions more closely tethered to myths. Americans, and most of the world, has more access to facts than any other time in the history of the world -- and that, ironically, has mainly just given us more to ignore than understand. But, then, understanding requires thinking, and that, too, seems on the decline...at least about things other than sports, entertainment and whatever "celebrity" is.
  
  Beyond the moral and traditional reasons you cite, this action just creates a bigger market from which to recruit terrorists. It's a 90 day strategy for fostering a larger problem long-term. I suspect it's not making Christians in those countries any safer either. This is just to go foolishly and boldly into the future.
