What should be versus what is. Guess which loses...

I may not be as ignorant as you think, but then maybe even more than I fear. I asked Entropy the question because I was curious as to why he thought as he did. He answered well. I wondered what type of political constraint he was thinking of. Now I know.
I know you aren't ignorant but I also see you make a lot of apparently ignorant statements that are somewhat naive and / or display a disregard for practicalities as impediments to your worldview (not sure which -- it's not a good medium for nuance...). We all do that but in the case of interventions to improve the human condition here and there, IMO you seem to discard reality for unattainable ideals all too often and you also appear to often ask for military efforts in doing things they cannot do or do not do well. Wishing they could do it your way doesn't change reality...:o
I suggest that some of the "immaterial" things I write are perhaps lumped into the larger number with which you disagree. I'm incredibly lazy, don't do much unless it seems fairly important. ;)
Not a problem, I can be concise when there's no point in being otherwise. In this case, there is none. :D

Then of course there are those who may want to discuss possible solutions. No harm done with this is there?
None. May even do some good, though solutions with a slight chance of political survival to implementation or gain success would seem desirable. YMMV. :wry:
