Progression in Modern Times

In our moderm-day era, things are quite different thatn in the late 1800's and early 1900's; devices such as computers, cellphones, and so much more enable us to comunicate over greater distances, monitor activity, and overall help ebb the daily flow of life at a suitable pace. Unfortunately, that also means that with these new technologies, we feel as if we need to help "ploice" other countries less economicly developed, just as in the Progessive Era in our early history. Such as the conflicts in Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan, where our government is sending out our troops and deploying them in between a waging war full of religious zealots and martyrs, who want nothing more than to eradicate each other from existance. But, due to our abrupt interjection into this conflict, they have somewhat united in a cause that trumps their current objectives; kill all and any American soldiers, for they are considered to be the ultimate heretics and unbelievers. In their minds, they believe that we are completely different than they are, therefore we should be put down with the same hostilities as they share for each other because we are not of the same religious sect. One could argue, if asked, that the involvement of our troops is doing nothing but strengthening their cause to target American soldiers, and therefore is a pure and utter waste of life, on our part. They have acquired a similar enemy now, and although conflicts are still focused towards wach other, they are not as blinded by rage as they used to be. If the lives of countless American soldiers are to be saved and not wasted on a "lost cause" such as this so to speak, then something must be done; it is pointless, in one view of this dilema, to intervein if the end reslut will be inevitable.

One way that this atrocious err may be fixed is by simply withdrawing our troops, and letting the problem smolder out on its own, for it needs no help in kindling it gurther. As we would withdraw our troops, we could simply do unmanned fly-overs and monitor their activity from afar, and lessen the likeliness of any casualties, save for plastic, metal, and computer patrts and pieces instead of human lives. Aslo, one could venture to offer such a suggestion as to evacuating civilians and non-military personnel to "green zones," so we can go in and be more effective, and lessen the possibility of accidentally taking civilian lives in the process of raids on enemy positions. This would also open up the option to simply bomb areas where confirmed terririst or insurgent activity has been documented, also lessening the risk of casualties.
