Though it may seem like a best reaction, I disagree. We need to STOP fighting outside of internationally recognized borders. Defense is WITHIN you borders. Preemptive action and strikes are unacceptable. International security through unilateral disarmament is the best solution for everyone.

Good, there are already too many.
I find the US quite hypocritical. In my lifetime: Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan have been overt colonizations, not to talk about the domination of South and Central America. Never officially declaring war means nothing.
We need the idealists to keep pushing for more open standards. Sure, it's not realistic for most people to get by with pure libre devices, but the people at FSF and GNU have inspired a lot of positive changes. I live in a grey area, trying my best, but have learned to trim back gradually the proprietary software. I've just gotten Fairphone and installed e/os (no whatsapp, facebook, google maps, etc and it's a removed), my Tuxedo computer runs Fedora and my Raspberry Pis run Raspi OS; yeah, there are all kinds of firmware blobs, but I do the best I can and move on, always towards more ethical and libre products. I also donate money to libre projects.
Too true. Hillary would've expanded the militarys presence in Afghanistan. Sorry if the Taliban is oppressive, but they won too quickly to be unpopular.
