taking it out of context ...
Time to stop going to war
... I agree completely. If we take ourselves off of the chess board, we can't be used as pawns. It is time to stop invading other sovereign countries.
Silly me, and here all along I thought that killing was wrong. But I guess it is ok if someone else tells you to do it.

I think you mean "Every country has exploited every nation they have ever invaded.."
The us didn't invent invasions.. nor have we been espeacially good or prolific at it by historical standards.

American handling of won wars has failed every time. Every time we try to hand the won territories back over to indigenous population we end up their enemy again causing additional wars and millions more dead.
Noting short of total assimilation has worked through history. Time to stop going to war if not willing to force our will on the populace and assimilating them as a whole into our nation.
May seem harsh but no doing so is causing more death than doing so would.
