Mmm, believe the goal here is saving humanity.

  That's the justification used for the thousands of drone strikes the US has performed in the last decade. I suspect depending on where you live, your definition of "goal" will be different.

    There is quite a bit of violence involved in preserving your free, liberal Western way of life.

      Yeah, schools and weddings are the true enemy of democracy.

      I don't believe anyone can prove how the violence has actually preserved my "liberal" western life. If you go to the "worst" territories with the worst regimes, you will find people surprisingly like us. They are individuals and families who care for each other, who work hard (or harder), and who don't wish anyone harm. What we have are power hungry people, often with financial agendas, at the controls of media and politics. That's not to say that some citizens don't get caught up in these false narratives and grab their pitchforks, but without the perpetual skewed influence, "normal" people tend to behave pretty decently.

    Much easier to be human if you don’t run the risk of being turned into a smoking crater at a moments notice.
