These wars are far worst than failed policies

There is enough criticism in this (typically soft) piece (link below) for the average supporter of US wars. But these wars are far worst than failed policies that could have been executed better. For if one sees these US wars (plural) as political, economic and military expansionism, then Bush, Obama and Trump are inhumane warmongering presidents, commanders-in-chief rightly responsible for 10s upon 100s of thousands of mostly civilian deaths, perhaps into the millions per some activist organizations.

Many in this country politically, conveniently wept for the children "detained thus temporarily separated" from their parents due to longstanding US immigration laws. There have NOT been similar public tears for the children "terminated thus permanently separated" from their parents due to longstanding US foreign/military policies.

Come let us Reason (Is 1:18). Peace is always a Choice (Mt 5:9).
