Last I heard things werent going so well in fact there worse than ever and the politicos huddle behind closed doors wringing their hands "what to do what to do" while the soldiers on the ground cry out for support and continue to suffer and die for what?

Its like vietnam all over again.

On a mission to establish diplomatic relations, Kirk and Spock beam down to the planet to learn that its inhabitants have been at war with a neighboring planet for over 500 years. They can find no damage and no evidence of destruction. They soon learn that the war is essentially a war game where each planet attacks the other in a computer simulation with the victims voluntarily surrendering themselves for execution after the fact.
You can watch the episode on veoh:

I think you got your quotes mixed up there.

I think that episode's purpose was to show how mankind can become numb to war.

The UN with their 'unbiased' point of view has weighed in on the topic.

Quote:

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) – US drone strikes against suspected terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan could be breaking international laws against summary executions, the UN's top investigator of such crimes said.
