Just War Theory

Obama continues the neoconservative "Just War Theory" that places citizens of foreign counties at a higher moral standing than our troops. The message holds that America is in the Middle East not for its own own self-interest to eliminate Islamic Totalitarianism, but to help others in some "higher" good that reflects our charity to enable them to achieve democracy. By establishing the mob-rule system that is known as democracy we enable our enemy to establish whichever government they wish, even if it is anti-American. The Just War Theory doctrine is the predominate policy guiding our leaders and military action ever since World War II, and has only weakened America, not strengthened it. This doctrine has given our weak enemy hope of victory by enabling them to carrying out a long, extended war. It is a non-win scenario as US replaces complete victory with appeasement. It places citizens of other countries higher than our own troops. The death of our soldier is acceptable, whereas the death of a citizen of a foreign nation is unacceptable. This selfless policy is reflected in the Speech Obama delivered to our troops this past 24 hours, "You are bringing hope and opportunity to people who know a lot of pain and suffering." The message to our troops should be of one basis only, to protect American lives. That is, the lives of themselves. It should then be followed that we must give them hell, so they may never even think twice about attacking a free-nation again.
