Re:The only thing war has ever done is... (Score 1)

Wrong, Grasshopper. Terrorism has been defeated by war. Depends on how you wage it. Defeated in Malaysia and in the Phillipines (the Huk rebellion), for instance. (Screw up the politics, you lose, like Viet Nam.) The Irish in the South continued to kill each other with gusto after the British threw in the towel there. Expect more of the same if the Brits leave up North. Unless Irish-Americans suddenly stop funding Gerry Adams and his Boyos. Oh and while we are on our ex-pals the Germans, let's look at some other ex-pals: Chinese out of Tibet, Russians out of Chechnya, and the French out of whichever West African country (Ivory Coast? Chad?) their troops are stomping around in now.
