The point I was making previously was that "diversity" and "identity" politics had opened the door to voting solely based on race. Effectively a tacit endorsement of racism. Voting based only on skin color rather than ideas.

I am simply presenting the logic that Trump essentially presents and its conclusion. Maybe I misunderstood it, but unless I did, that's the logic presented and its conclusion. It isn't my logic, so...

You missed the part where the middle east is nice insular. Afghans fucking hated each other from being from the other valley. In that regard, Mr. Trump is correct. Given the current way we've been fighting wars, only genocide lite (if you count villages as that, its more small scale ethnic cleansing) can achieve our objectives. Novus America had a good analysis of our failings in this regard and what we do need to do.
So when I felt frustrated and ready to give up on supporting the modern counterterrorism policy and half-jokingly suggested we should just kill everyone...it was the right thing to do?

Check my edit, I linked you something explaining the whole thing and its origins. He'd later leverage that to try and get votes in 2000.
Yugoslavia = Example of ethnic conflicts go started
"Diversity" = vote for the guy who looks like you, essentially harnessing ingroup preferences while vociferously condemning the other guy for "racism", they opened the door

I was proposing that increased investment and trade would reduce the flow the most.

We toss money at corrupt third world shitheaps all the time. Dumping money in Iraq and Afghanistan hasn't worked. Why would the recipe change?

That could be years before definitive answers come out, and even then they'll likely be disputed, or maybe even outdated. My solution can be implemented almost immediately considering how both parties have a hard-on for free trade, has a low opportunity cost and promises benefits even if it's wrong (so long as it runs short of a complete catastrophe).

Probably has something to do with most of that money being in the form of precision missile strikes. US investment in Africa is looking to pay off quite nicely. Why should Latin America be any different?

If its just a private business deal on the otherhand, I see no problem with it. Private business can risk its money where it will no problem.

I was thinking offering tax breaks and removing tariffs and all that jazz. Super NAFTA, if you will.

I agree, although honestly I think this was probably the best case for a treason trial in years.

I did read that certain individuals in Wall Street would like see a free movement deal passed as well (in one of the Clinton leaked speeches. Thats where I draw the line.

I actual agree that free movement is a bad idea at this point in time.

You know, I don't like the gubmint and I admit The New Left is pretty prevalent in at least half of the American political system.
But this pretty much proves that the bias goes both ways.

My problem comes when it encourages countries within the bloc to use us or other countries as a pressure release valve. Let them face their own messes.
