I wish somebody had the answer to stopping all this.

We send our troops into their homes - and some of them come to our homes and pay back.
We are totally aghast, if our people suffer and our thoughts are with them, but we have accepted our troops' violence in their homeland as a commonplace.
We could stop killing their families and they would stop killing ours.
We let them live the way they want - and grant therefore liberty, human rights and democracy the way they want to have it. They prefer a theocracy? Their problem.
If they want to live the way we do, they will care for it.
But our systems' necessity to grow, to expand, to get more cheap workers, consumers, debtors and ressources under control causes all this violence of ours.
So it causes their violence in revenge.
Capitalism is violent by default.
Pressure causes counterpressure.
Our organized terror causes unorganized counterterror.
We all know it to be wrong, but we have no tools in our “free, democratic” society to change things, because our society's rules are designed to support the violent growth of capitalism.
We are caught in a trap. We refuse violence, name it to be archaic, but have to support it on our side. So we justify it with the glorious delivery of our western values, to be granted to those “poor opressed people” we want to serve our economic desires.
So we switch to the second best thing and ask to ban the violent pictures from our news. We don't want to have a constant reminder of our fork-tounged ideology.
We are overfed with our own medicine - and wish someone would have the answer to stop all this.
