Escalation

We are at war with Houthis who are financed by Iran. They attacked a US base in Jordan and killed three American soldiers. We responded by attacking 87 targets in Iraq and Syria. Then they attacked again. We are vowing to retaliate again.

Where does this end?

The United States has interfered in so many other countries for so long that we have made millions of enemies. Just look at the anti-US demonstrations in various countries around the world.

Nations keep trying to solve issues with brute force. Military action has seemed to win the day a lot. But so often the conclusion of a war just sets up history for the next war.

Right now it looks like another world war could break out. 

There has to be a better way.
