Thank you for your opinion.

we aren't left with only one choice because there is only one inherent choice - to fight - it's (partly) because of previous activities conducted by our government, and because apparently few people have an incentive to come up with a way to really implement non-violent measures. assuming some level of hostility will be there, we have more than enough military resources at our disposal and could easily make adjustments so that we are more balanced in how we distribute our wealth.

is that reasonable?

I don't really understand what you are suggesting we do about the insurgency.
