It's not a false dichotomy when every single thing people propose to do is like that - wastes money and/or kills innocent people.

BTW. GP forgot to add - terrorizing Pakistan. US drone strikes themselves killed about as many civilians as 9/11 attacks.

The person I was replying to was talking about things that were actually done not every possible option, so it was a false dichotomy.

I dispute your claim that every possible option other than doing nothing would be worse than doing nothing. What's your justification for that claim?
