I generally agree with what you said, but this point doesn't make sense to me. The west is filled with violent history, and to this day is waging war across the globe. Maybe we should be focusing on reforming ourselves and stay the frick out of the places where the extremists live.

Human beings are a very violent species. It's a neoliberal talking point about how nonviolent we've become, but we are what we are. The Ghost in the Machine as it were.
