Yeah, good idea. Let's not have armies. I'm sure the people whose ideology or religion we'd rather not be forced to adhere to will do entirely the same thing.

Maybe, just maybe, these radicals would have less support in their home countries now if the US hadn't marched into their home countries and occupied them. That antagonized a lot of people. But that is not what happened.

Oh sure, but you are talking about a specific scenario.

Did France antagonize Germany in the 1930’s? Or did Germany have something they want to do and just went and did it?

We can dream of a utopia where the military is not necessary. But that is not the reality of this world.
