When there is a breakdown of law and human empathy, these sorts of people tend to breed swiftly.
And to continue to harp on people like them rather than responsibly focus on the real source of the problem is a feeble mental course to take.
It would be counterproductive to deploy our military to all of them, and rather difficult besides, given the lack of committment among a majority of the American people.

 Inside Iraq by Jerome Delay - The Digital Journalist
In his novel, The Plague, Albert Camus portrayed the lives of a group of ordinary people in a fictional city, threatened by a terrifying pestilence from within.
In a society like Iraq’s, where it is extraordinarily difficult for people to speak what lies in their hearts and minds, it seems appropriate that we try and gain some clues through images.
But he also shows us the larger Iraqi reality, that of ordinary people living their lives steadfastly, adhering to the routines that are the stuff of people’s daily lives everywhere.

 Amazon.com: Disaster At D-Day (Greenhill Military Paperbacks): Books: Peter Tsouras   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
In Tsouras' fictional history, German armored units destroy the Omaha Beach landings, Hitler and his generals react much faster than they actually did, and nothing the Allies attempt to do in order to save Operation Overlord works.
For me, a keen student of military history since childhood, nothing is more fascinating than alternate history.
To start with Tsouras gives the Germans slightly better luck in their initial disposition of forces, he allows certain units to be in position, certain commanders to be with their troops as opposed to being absent either on home leave or attending a war-game inland.

And while the story of Margaret Utinsky and the Filipino underground smuggling medicine into the camp is also an amazing one, the relationship between her and the fictional Major Gibson was simply a distraction.
She had a correspondence with a POW (a chaplain) at Cabanatuan, and this may be where the idea of a romance came from.
There are people out there — reporters, pundits, Senators and Congressmen — who hate the President and the Republican Party so deeply and with such passion that they would rather see the United States defeated and Iraq collapsed into a failed state than support what they see as George W. Bush’s war.

In discussing military assistance to various countries, Bowling asserts that the U.S. gave $245 million in aid to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan in 2000 and 2001.

Bowling concludes that Canada isn't peaceful because it lacks guns and gun nuts -- it has lots of those -- but because the Canadian mass media isn't into constant hyping of fear and loathing, and the American media is. (One problem).
