I'm of the opinion that bloodshed should always be avoided if possible.

It seems like the American Way when it comes to these sorts of issues is just to hit them with a big stick. If it doesn't work, you go for an even bigger one instead of maybe questioning why it didn't work and if a stick is the right answer.

Proper defensive measures are clearly necessary, but addressing the symptoms doesn't fix the problem.
